EPL: Arsenal are top of the league for a reason – Leicester manager, Rodgers
Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers has admitted Arsenal were the better side as they lost 1-0 to the Premier League leaders.
Gabriel Martinelli struck early in the second half to hand the Gunners a 1-0 victory at the King Power Stadium.
The result would have been more comfortable, but Arsenal had two goals disallowed in either half.
It was the second consecutive win for Mikel Arteta’s men and they briefly opened a five-point gap between themselves and Manchester City.
“They were clearly better than us. We were too passive when we had the ball, we weren’t quick enough with it.
“When we got to the final third we could not find that last pass. They are at the top of the league for a reason, and I thought they showed that,” Rodgers said
