    I'll remember this night for Mesut Ozil's brilliance. It's been a genius Ozil.

    Do I think Arsenal will finish in the top-four? Right here, right now...no. I think they'll finish fifth. But what I will say is that at the start of the season I'd have said they would have had absolutely no chance of finishing in the top four.

    This team is growing. The belief is growing. That juggernaut is starting to roll.

    Arsenal 3-1 Leicester

    All over! A tale of two halves (almost) as Arsenal survive a sticky start before turning on the style.

    Ten on the bounce for Unai Emery's side. Arsene who?

    Aaron Ramsey isn't finished yet. He tries to pick out Alexandre Lacazette with a quick ball forward after Arsenal clear a Leicester free-kick, but it is cut out by Jonny Evans.

    Arsenal taking the sting out of this game, keeper Bernd Leno taking his time.

  6. INJURY TIMEpublished at 90 mins

    Arsenal 3-1 Leicester

    Three minutes left for Leicester to salvage something. Or for Arsenal to score two more and move third.

    The latter is more likely, I'd suggest.

    It was just odd that Jamie Vardy ran down the tunnel. Who runs off when they are injured?

    Arsenal 3-1 Leicester

    Leicester still battling away but don't look like setting up a nervy finish. Marc Albrighton's pass has too many legs for Shinji Okazaki and runs through to Gunners keeper Bernd Leno.

    Where's Jamie Vardy going? Maybe he is beating the post-match traffic

    The Leicester striker looks at manager Claude Puel and then jogs off the pitch down the tunnel.

    Looks like he was slightly limping, Puel already having made his three subs remember. Leicester down to 10 men.

    Si's Insights: Unai Emery is doing everything a good successor should. Staying true to the principles of an illustrious predecessor and building on them.

    Masimba Mukurazita: Arsenal are moving in the right direction. Unai Emery has the midas touch in the second half - team blossoms.

    Rob Elmore: Are the top five creating a gap already?

    Well spotted, Rob. There are currently four points between fifth-placed Tottenham and sixth-placed Bournemouth, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs locked on 21 points.

    Alex Iwobi has been quality tonight by the way.

    How is Alexandre Lacazette not on the scoresheet? Maybe he doesn't want to rub his former boss Claude Puel's nose in it.

    Arsenal's former Lyon striker misses another relatively simple chance, missing the target after being picked out by Alex Iwobi's cross from the right.

    Arsenal moving into fourth as it stands - above Tottenham. That'll please the Gunners fans when they see their Spurs-supporting pals in the office tomorrow.

    What? Don't take Mesut Ozil off! I'm upset he has been taken off.

    I get sick and tired of the negativity towards Ozil. He is playing with a smile on his face. He is a genius and we have seen that tonight.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

    Arsenal 3-1 Leicester

    A standing ovation for Mesut Ozil as he is replaced by Aaron Ramsey. One goal, one assist (and one second assist?)... in short, a very good's night work for the German.

    Like a hot knife through butter. Arsenal should be 4-1 ahead.

    Mesut Ozil has been the architect of more eye-catching things than Sir Norman Foster tonight.

    The Arsenal skipper starts another slick move on the left, exchanging passes before squaring to Alexandre Lacazette who should tap in, but instead drills against Kasper Schmeichel.
