Why Leandro Trossard's goal against Leicester was disallowed
By Sean Walsh
Leandro Trossard has settled into life fairly quickly at Arsenal, largely making an impact from the bench.
He scored his first goal for the Gunners in their 1-1 draw with Brentford a fortnight ago, and he thought he'd added to his tally in their trip to Leicester City on Saturday.

The Welshman was unable to punch the ball away with full force, allowing it to be picked up again by Xhaka and leading to Trossard's finish.
Referee Craig Pawson was instructed by VAR to review the incident on the pitch-side monitor and he ruled the opening goal out for a foul.
