Maybe Lucas Perez will be mainly a sub this season, a squad player.
And that’s fine because it’s a 14-man game and every team gets injuries.
Every week, more substitutes seem to score goals.
After 23, Xhaka fired a 30-yard shot that deflected off a defender’s back and went in despite the keeper getting a hand to the ball.
When Akpom was brought down in the box, Perez converted in 60 to make it 2-0 to the Arsenal
Then, in 71, Perez barged Mancienne off the ball and slotted for 3-0.
It’s a contact sport but ref Paul Tierney did not give that foul.
In stoppage time, Perez played in Oxlade to make it 4-0.
One of the most one-sided EFL games we are likely to see.
Arsenal’s next game is at home to Chelsea, who won a very lively match at the King Power last night.
Vardy and Mahrez didn’t start. Slimani neither
But the hard-grafting Shinji Okazaki seized his chance, scoring in 17 and 34.
Both goals owed a lot to his guts and perseverance.
When Batshuayi crossed from the right, Gary Cahill headed the ball over the line, although a defender cleared it against the lunging David Luiz and it rebounded into the net again.
Then Azpilicueta smashed a volley inside the post to make it 2-2.
When Diego Costa came on in 67, he was loudly booed. Then Batman had a tremendous shot that was brilliantly saved by reserve keeper Ron-Robert Zieler.
Costa had a one-on-one to finish the contest but stroked it inches past the post.
The Foxes, by the way, are still good value. They always go forward and create chances.
But the loss of centreback Wasileweski ruined their shot of winning in extra time.
His forearm thumped into Diego Costa’s neck and a second yellow card was inevitable.
Sub Fabregas then killed off Leicester with two of the coolest finishes you’ll see this month.
Two goals in two minutes, 92 and 94. As I said yesterday, Cesc still has a lot to offer.
Tonight in their 7,600-capacity stadium, Northampton Town host Manchester United.
Spurs will play Gillingham.
