A great performance by an Arsenal team missing several stars proved too much for Leicster who, until this morning, had an unbeaten home record this season (and had won their last 6 at Filbert Street).

The first 2 were scored by defenders: Grimandi from a corner and then Dixon bundling over a Henry cross. Overmars, playing on the right and causing problems all afternoon, scored the 3rd after being set up by Stephen Hughes (on his return to the Premiership).

Thanks to the early kick-off, Arsenal briefly went top of the table on GD. Man Utd thrashed Everton later, and Leeds are at Derby tomorrow.
