Premier League release statement during Arsenal vs Leicester City after late decision

The Premier League have explained why VAR overturned the decision to rule out Kai Havertz’s late goal for offside as Arsenal made sure of the three points against Leicester City.

In what was a rollercoaster of a match for both teams, Arsenal took a two-goal lead into the half time break thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. They may have been forgiven for thinking it was going to be a comfortable afternoon against winless Leicester.

But the second half proved to be anything but. James Justin halved the deficit after just two minutes of the second half, and the full-back was on the scoresheet again in the 63rd minute, a stunning volley drawing the Foxes level at 2-2.

It looked like Arsenal would be frustrated by Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen and his back four. But corners proved to be key again, a 94th minute corner deflected off Wilfred Ndidi to send the Emirates Stadium mad and make the score 3-2.
