Arsenal 1 Lester 1, 58'

Strange write-up on this match in the Guardian. Arsenal with 66% possession but things like this:

An entertaining first 45 minutes, with Mesut Özil, captaining Arsenal this evening, equalising on the brink of the interval. An exquisite finish, but until then Arsenal had rarely threatened.


And this:
GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Leicester (Chilwell, 31)

Leicester press Arsenal into trouble and Ben Chilwell eventually profits, with the left-back charging down the flank, racing beyond Bellerin and his deflected effort outwits Bernd Leno. It totally bamboozles the Arsenal goalkeeper. It’s a slice of luck, but a thoroughly deserved lead.

Google has the goal as a Hector Bellerin own goal.

And Arsenal has now taken the lead. Aubameyang in the 63'.
