Arsenal needed only two goals from Partey and Lacazette to beat Leicester City 2-0 at Emirates Stadium and return to the Premier League’s top four spot.
The Gunners came into the game with an unbeaten record in their last five league games, winning their last four by a single goal each time.
While Leicester City were also enjoying good moments, having lost only one of their last seven games across all competitions (W5 D1).
They’ve won four straight games and have kept a clean sheet in each of the last three.
11 minutes into the game, Thomas Partey put Arsenal ahead with a header from a corner, before hitting the crossbar with a shot minutes later.
Before the break, Ramsdale also made two outstanding stops to deny Barnes scoring chance.

For a handball against Soyuncu, VAR gave the Gunners a penalty, which Alexandre Lacazette converted into the top corner in second half.
Leicester simply couldn’t come up with a way to get back into the game.
Arsenal has reclaimed fourth place from Manchester United and West Ham, with three games in hand over the teams behind them.
They have a big encounter coming up against Liverpool.
