November 9, 2019, marked a disappointing day for Arsenal as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City's Jamie Vardy and James Maddison were the scorers, with Vardy netting his ninth goal in 10 appearances against Arsenal and Maddison scoring with a low strike that whistled past Bernd Leno.
The defeat leaves Arsenal with four games without a win in the league, sparking questions about the decision to replace Arsene Wenger with Unai Emery.
Emery acknowledged the criticism, stating, "I know we are receiving criticism, but I have done before and I have recovered. I accept all the criticism. It is normal. Today we did one step ahead being better defensively."
Leicester City, on the other hand, moved into second place in the Premier League with 26 points, ahead of Chelsea on goal difference and one point above champions Manchester City.
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers praised Vardy, saying, "It's firstly about giving him confidence. He is up there with the very, very top strikers in European football with what he brings to a team, his pressing."
