Arsenal beats Leicester 1-0 to stay top of EPL

LEICESTER, England (AP) — Arsenal has maintained its place atop the English Premier League by beating Leicester 1-0 thanks to Gabriel Martinelli’s goal early in the second half. Leandro Trossard slipped in Martinelli and the Brazil winger cut in from the left to poke a low finish just inside the far post in the 46th minute. That ensured Arsenal will end the day where it began — in first place ahead of Manchester City. Arsenal has bounced back well from a three-game stretch where the team picked up one point to raise doubts about its title pedigree. The Gunners twice came from behind to beat Aston Villa 4-2 away last weekend and has now won again in the Midlands.
