they can uh produce the chance to go into the lead now good work from the keeper [Applause] swung in from the corner well he used the inside of his head well but not the outside off target yeah just slightly miss time that one this is the leicester city lineup casper schmeichel's starting goal wilfred and dede plays with yuri tienemans in the middle of the pitch jamie vardy is the lone striker today root for the cross arsenal have a corner gone short here [Applause] it's with danny tobias willian he has to clear it his tackle well it's a good challenge it's led to a corner here comes the corner not really away from the threat here oh it's offside well as a striker you expect to get the benefit there but he didn't this is the arsenal lineup but leno starts and go with danny cevallos in the center of midfield alexandre lacazette is the lone striker today untidy work [Applause] lacazette [Applause] well that's a comfortable save from the header yeah that's a poor effort from the lad and really should have worked the keeper more than that [Applause] now a chance to get a bit of width into this attack david luiz lacazette [Applause] here's willian now can he cross it he needs to turn over to the opposition [Applause] madison brady gives it away straight to the opposition in behind the defenders [Applause] here's now they're looking to get forward from this position attacking now really vital interception here [Applause] danny sebastian well that stopped him in his tracks because he's given offside there's plenty of space in behind to run into as well indeed now they've got the probing the pass [Applause] decent opportunity there but it was easy in the end for the goalkeeper well i don't know what was wrong there whether he took his eye off the board he certainly didn't connect with it how he should have he's got possession back for his team aubameyang game still level but the pressure might be counting [Applause] saw the direction of the pass now danny ceballos [Applause] here's willian excellent reading of this to put them ahead well they managed to get out of harm's way then because it looked as though there was going to be some real damage done to them probing with the pass [Applause] i love talking about leicester city to you because obviously you were on the inside your whole career developed within that football club and those memories must still be very vivid today well it was a lovely club to play for back then when i did in the early 80s i think it's retained that character even up until this day [Applause] he looks so dangerous in any part of the pitch alexandra lacazette he's on the run now trying to catch the other team out with a quick break here excellent interception that's gone out for a throwing [Applause] [Music] [Applause] given away untidy by leicester he has blown and he's given the free kick taylormans onto vardy by the goalkeeper [Applause] now william bayeri he's intercepted at just the right time for his team he could cross it from here it's with danny tobias [Applause] intercepted well trying the possession game unsuccessfully at the moment [Applause] now can they move on from this wide area where there is room that was the halftime whistle in the english league cup final and the teams go so the english league cup final has had its first half here goes the second half we're underway yeah it could be draining this pitch and going into the second half further into it maybe tiredness will play a part that's something for him to chase no threat now here's bearing [Applause] commanding jacka did well stuck out a foot and head off the pass [Applause] brilliant technique in the tackle well suddenly they could be on the counter attack a banner yet [Applause] and he picked somebody out but super reflexes from the goalkeeper and we're going to have a double switch now in from william only partially cleared so there's still some problems for them chiaka william [Applause] there's an edge about arsenal now as they go looking for the goal that will put them in front can put them in front here [Applause] i think he might just try and hold on to this lead now this is what you call leading from the front a strike from the skipper yeah he's popped up at a very good moment there [Applause] so it's arsenal with a lead [Applause] danny ceballos hector berry bios his bearing we've reached the hour mark half an hour to go indeedy stopping the past getting through with good piece of anticipation [Applause] good piece of tackling then [Applause] you can't keep it on the pitch it's gone out for a throw it's been a free-flowing performance from a forward who if you give him any space and he's had the space today he's going to punish you as a defender and he's dominated the defenders who tried to stop him today yeah we know he's got plenty of skill but you've got to ally that with work right and he's done that today doesn't always do it to be fair but he has here and that will clear the danger [Applause] they set it up well for the cross [Applause] that's great defending there stopping that attack he's kept the ball the break is definitely on never as easy as it looked but really in this circumstance with his talent he should have scored well if it ends up costing his team he's going to get some pelters from his manager and teammates he's cut that out well well read [Applause] chiaka commanding chaka kolasinac david lewis [Applause] danny ceballo his teammates have recognized the potential of this attack chiaka sabaos [Applause] yard to get his shot away just making sure that each pass is successful when they'll see the chance for a forward pass they'll flick a switch cross has gone straight to the defender who's got time for an extra touch ricardo pereira just over a quarter of an hour left on my watch i spotted the pass and cut it out [Applause] on the attack here just struck too hard [Applause] it's a good pass behind the defenders so easy in possession what an important interception that was they're playing okay arsenal aren't they but the result not in the bag but time is with them all about concentration not doing anything silly now but it is a team that's coordinated together making sure the opposition can't get a foot in given away untidy by leicester well that's gone back to the goalkeeper [Applause] aubameyang colossians [Applause] the goalkeeper is annoyed with himself with justification alan well he just left too much of the goal unguarded there didn't he he and his goalkeeping coach have been looking at that tomorrow i'm sure just widen the margin here to two-nil intercepted well it's grey into the attacking third there's a goal they're checking they're watching straight away have they got time to really get back into it they're only one behind now i'm sure the manager is going to switch the tactics and get them on to the front foot because they've got a chance again [Applause] off we go again two one number nine [Applause] happy days for these fans without question there's only one winner in this match although we've got a little bit of time left but they've played really well
