Leicester went close on 66 minutes through Jamie Vardy who raced on to the ball but fires off target.

The reigning champions were beaten 2-1 in their Premier League opener, while Arsenal were defeated 4-3 by Liverpool. If you look at his numbers, certainly he was in the top three in the league a year ago.
The 25-year-old Algerian starred last season and was a major reason why they were able to shock the football world and win the Premier League.
He joined Leicester in January 2014 whilst they were still in the Championship and scored four times in his first season in the top flight.
The Foxes lost 5-2 at home in September and have not been beaten in the league at the King Power Stadium since, while they suffered a last-minute 2-1 defeat at the Emirates in February. But they came up against an equally hard-working Arsenal outfit.
The Gunners had a horror start to their season as well.
Likewise, Arsenal will be depending on their wealth of worldwide experience in the form of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil to stabilise the ship and launch an assault on the Premier League title. Both teams looked capable of changing the game if needed with the likes of Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud and Ahmed Musa on the bench. More likely victor, in our opinion, is a team of Ranieri.
After setting an unwanted Premier League record, Leicester will need to open a new chapter in their “hopefully” never-ending-fairytale.
Ranieri, whose Leicester side are seeking their first points of the season when they host Arsenal on Saturday, is also confident that midfielder Danny Drinkwater will extend his deal, which now runs until 2018. The central midfielder, signed from Nice to help make up for the void of N’Golo Kante, was replaced in the 53rd minute by Andy King.
