In the postponed fight of the 28th round, Arsenal needed more victory. After all, the team of Arsene Wenger still have theoretical chances of getting into the zone of the Champions League, and if the Gunners are going to use it, then they can not lose points.

The hosts announced the seriousness of their intentions from the very first minutes, but the Gunners' attacks lacked harmony and organization, and they did not carry any threat to Schmeichel's gates. But kontrvypady guests happened infrequently, but were much sharper. The first really dangerous moment happened at the gate of Cech, and only the experience and skill of the goalkeeper owners allowed him to pull the ball from under the crossbar.

It is interesting that when Lester turned to more massive attacking actions, Arsenal moments became much more acute. However, the abundance of errors in both transmissions and at the end of attacks did not allow any of the teams to open an account.

The overall picture of the match did not change: Arsenal had a little more possession of the ball, both teams attacked a lot, but really dangerous moments could be counted on the fingers of one hand. The only thing that has changed is the number of errors that, however, neither Foxes nor Gunners used.

And yet this fight was not destined to end in a goalless draw. The desperation from Montreal ended with a rebound from Hut's chest and a goal - 1: 0! Literally immediately the hosts scored again, but the referee recorded offside at Ozila and the goal was canceled by Arsenal - Lester 1: 0 Goal: Khut, 86, own goal.
