Merino’s late brace lifts Arsenal to victory at Leicester

Arsenal secured a vital 2-0 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, with Mikel Merino striking twice in the final minutes to keep the Gunners in the Premier League title race.

Leicester’s defense held firm for most of the match, frustrating Arsenal’s attacking efforts.

However, the breakthrough finally came in the 81st minute when Merino finished off a well-timed pass from Ethan Nwaneri.

Six minutes later, the Spanish midfielder doubled his tally, converting a precise assist from Leandro Trossard to put the result beyond doubt.

The victory keeps Arsenal in second place with 53 points, four behind league leaders Liverpool.

Leicester, meanwhile, will be disappointed after letting a hard-fought match slip away late on, as they continue their battle to stay in the top flight.
