Arsenal maintained their top four hopes with a slender 1-0 victory over Leicester on Wednesday evening.

With just three minutes of regulation time to play at The Emirates, a Robert Huth own goal was enough to give the Gunners all three points. By now, we're sure you know that we're not allowed to show you Premier League footage, so you'll have to make do with a few poor-quality images for now... Alexis Sanchez begins attempts to cross the ball, only for it to take a deflection off Danny Simpson... A Leicester player is able to get a head to the ball in the middle of the area... Only heading is as far as Mesut Özil... Under pressure, the ball sits up nicely for Nacho Monreal to fire a shot goalwards. As he does, he slices it towards the right... Unfortunately for Huth, it hits his body before he's had time to react... And deflects into the corner of the goal... Kasper Schmeichel is powerless to do anything about it. The win lifts Arsenal to sixth, three points behind Manchester United who face neighbours Manchester City at The Etihad on Thursday night.
