Jamie Vardy came from the bench to grab a win for Leicester City at the Emirates in the Foxes first-ever victory against the Gunners.

The 33-year old missed his side’s loss to Everton last week at the King Power due to injury and had to be announced in the 60-minute, taking the place of Dennis Praet.

The goal was Vardy's 11th Premier League goal against Arsenal; only Wayne Rooney can boast more and it gave Leicester a win in a where Arsenal were earlier denied a goal by VAR.

Brendan Rodgers spoke that the victory defines the capacity of the Englishman and his goal is evident.

"Everyone talks about the goals he scores against Arsenal and the big teams but that's why he's a big player," Rodgers said when speaking to Sky Sports after the game.

"He makes that big contribution in the biggest games and that shows you the level that he's at. He's a world-class striker and I'm very lucky to have him here."

Arsenal mounted lots of pressure and had chances to win the game but the composed Leicester defence soaked up and kept a clean sheet at the venue.

His 6th goal in the Premier League leaves Leicester, fourth on 12 points, one point behind leaders, Everton.

"I thought we deserved it [to win], Brendan revealed.

"We're playing against a really good side whose movement is good, the set-up slightly different tonight as well, but I know they've got quality and the players that can run in behind. To come and keep a clean sheet and play with that quality and also calmness was really good.

"The boys were outstanding. Our idea is that you're playing against top-quality players and you've got to deny them space.

"A lot of my teams always deny it at the top of the pitch, but you play against that quality and that speed, you're set up slightly different. I thought the concentration, the ideas in the game from the players was executed it really well."
