Arsenal press conference LIVE – Mikel Arteta on Leicester City, Merino, Nwaneri and Sterling

Mikel Arteta faces the press after Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. The Gunners travelled to the east midlands missing many of their starting forwards as Arteta had his first taste of battling with a hand tied behind his side’s back.

It was evident how much threat the Gunners lacked as the best chances fell to the 17-year-old as the game went on without many major opportunities. He hit the bar and post with brilliant strikes but to no avail.

However, he would provide the cross which found a leaping Mikel Merino. The Spaniard headed past Mads Hermansen who had been given very little to do for most of the game and then scored a second soon after following a brilliant Trossard cross.
