Thomas Partey has given Arsenal the lead in their English Premier League clash against Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium.

The Ghanaian midfielder headed home only his second goal for Arsenal in the Premier League in the 11th minute from a well taken corner kick at the near post.

Arsenal dominated the opening exchanges of the game and Gabriel Martinelli had some fine opportunities blocked whiles Bukayo Saka has been busy on the right side.

Partey could have added a second goal but he hit the upright with a rasping long range shot.

Leicester City could have pulled parity as a Harvey Barnes shot was clawed to safety by goalkeeper Aron Ramsdale.

Currently the match is in recess with Arsenal having a slender 1-0 lead scored by the impressive Thomas Teye Partey
