Arsenal post new footage of Mikel Merino goal… but...

ARSENAL posted a new angle of Mikel Merino's celebrations. But supporters were more interested in what was going on in the Leicester end. Merino came off the bench at the King Power to answer Mikel Arteta's striker SOS call following injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz. The Spanish midfielder went up front for the first time in his career. And it worked a treat for the Gunners as he broke the deadlock with a header on 81 minutes.

He then showed great composure at the back post to turn in a second and secure an important three points. Arsenal took to X the day after the game to post a new angle of the opener from behind the Leicester goal. The video showed Ethan Nwaneri's cross, Merino's header and the wild celebrations in front of the travelling fans in the corner of the stadium. However, the 56-second clip was overshadowed by scenes among the home Leicester fans.

An individual in grey can be seen tussling with someone before launching something down the stand as their foe walks away. The person in grey then chases after them down the staircase and proceeds to swing several punches as a fight broke out. It appears they caught them in the head before the victim stumbled down the stand towards the stairwell, where they can be seen clutching their face.

Others nearby seemed to check on their wellbeing before the camera pans away to follow the Arsenal stars walking back towards the halfway line. It is unclear what prompted the scrap and who was involved. Although both were in the home Leicester end, there were suggestions the incident may have been between a Leicester fan and an Arsenal fan who had managed to get a ticket in the Leicester seats and celebrated the crucial goal.
