It was not a great evening for bands from the capital. Arsenal lost away from Leicester City (1: 3), while Chelsea lost valuable points from Huddersfield Town (1: 1).

Jamie Vardy gave his team a victory over Arsenal

Arsene Wenger's men are no longer fighting this season for nothing, but the French manager was definitely going to win every match he left until the end of the adventure with Arsenal. After a spectacular home victory over Burnley, the Londoners failed to follow the blow.

Arsenal from the beginning of the clash with Leicester City had a problem with the rival and very quickly, because after only a quarter of an hour, he seriously reduced his chances of getting a set of points. All because of the light-heartedness of Konstantinos Mavropanos, who, as the last player in front of the goal, gave himself the ball to Kelechi Iheanacho. In desperation, the defender knocked the opponent down and the judge had no choice but to throw him out of the field.

At the moment Arsenal were already losing at King Power Stadium 0: 1. Several dozen seconds earlier the result of the meeting opened Iheanacho and the hosts found themselves in an extremely favorable position.

The Londoners played poorly and did not present anything interesting until the end of the first half. Who knows, maybe Wenger shook his team in the locker room because Arsenal was able to answer after the change. In the 53rd minute the ball was awarded to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, whose first shot was scored by Kasper Schmeichel, but he was already helpless when he hit the ball.

The penultimate word in the match ultimately belonged to the hosts, specifically to Jamie Vardy, who defeated Petr Cech with a certain penalty shot. The stamp under the "Lisów" victory was placed by Riyad Mahrez, who determined the result of the competition in the added time of the game.

In the match played at the same time, another team from the capital - Chelsea FC - did not show up either. Antonio Conte's players did not take advantage of their own field and only drew from Huddersfield Town (1: 1). Such a result seriously limited the chances of "The Blues" to take the place in the top four league and advance to the next Champions League.
