Leonardo Ulloa's second goal in successive home games gave Leicester a deserved point against Arsenal. Alexis Sanchez turned in his first Arsenal league goal from close range after Yaya Sanogo had bundled the ball past keeper Kasper Schmeichel. But Nigel Pearson's promoted side were soon level as Argentine Ulloa climbed above Laurent Koscielny to head in. Leicester had the clearer second-half chances, with Ulloa and substitute Jamie Vardy going close.

| - Leonardo Ulloa's second goal in successive home games gave Leicester a deserved point against Arsenal. Alexis Sanchez turned in his first Arsenal league goal from close range after Yaya Sanogo had bundled the ball past keeper Kasper Schmeichel. But Nigel Pearson's promoted side were soon level as Argentine Ulloa climbed above Laurent Koscielny to head in. Leicester had the clearer second-half chances, with Ulloa and substitute Jamie Vardy going close. Ulloa created a great chance for himself early in the second period after playing a one-two with Riyad Mahrez and leaving defender Calum Chambers on the floor with a brilliant turn, but he fired high into the side netting. In the closing stages, Vardy led a swift counter-attack and burst into the penalty area after exchanging passes with David Nugent, but his shot was pushed aside by Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny. While Leicester showed they were worthy of a point, it was a difficult afternoon for Arsenal, for whom centre-back Laurent Koscielny had to come off in the first half with a head injury. Midfielder Mesut Ozil sustained an ankle problem and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain a calf injury late on, but manager Arsene Wenger suggested that neither were serious. In the case of winger Oxlade-Chamberlain, that will come as a relief to England manager Roy Hodgson ahead of a friendly against Norway on Wednesday and a Euro 2016 qualifier in Switzerland the following Monday.
