Mikel Arteta praised his Arsenal side for not losing belief or control after throwing away a two-goal lead in a 4-2 win over Leicester on Saturday. A Wilfred Ndidi own goal and Kai Havertz's finish in stoppage time took the Gunners level on points with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. Arsenal appeared to be cruising to victory when goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard rewarded a dominant first half performance from the home side at the Emirates. 

However, James Justin stunned Arteta's men with two goals inside the first 18 minutes of the second half. Arsenal laid seige to the Leicester goal in search of a winner and finally found the breakthrough when Ndidi turned in Trossard's cross into his own net. "I'm especially happy with the way the team reacted when it got very difficult, with a really unexpected two goals conceded which put the game at stake," said Arteta.
