On Saturday, Leicester City secured a 2-0 win over Arsenal at the King Power Stadium, propelling them into second place in the Premier League.

With 26 points, Leicester City now surpasses Chelsea on goal difference and trails champions Manchester City by just one point ahead of their trip to leaders Liverpool on Sunday.

Leicester City's victory was marked by a VAR-ruled out goal for Arsenal in the 55th minute, courtesy of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and a 68th-minute strike by Jamie Vardy.

Vardy's goal, his ninth in 10 appearances against Arsenal, was a result of confident passing from a Leicester City side clearly enjoying their football under Brendan Rodgers.

Three minutes later, Vardy turned provider for the Foxes' second goal, setting up James Maddison for a sweet, low strike that whistled past Bernd Leno.
