Howard Webb explains why VAR overturned disallowed Kai Havertz goal vs Leicester City
The second international break of the season gives Leicester City fans a chance to reflect on the first couple of months of the Premier League season.
It has been a rocky road under Steve Cooper so far, but Leicester City finally claimed a first league win of the campaign as they beat Bournemouth 1-0 last time out.
That win sees Leicester 15th in the Premier League after seven matches and Cooper can now look ahead to a huge next three league fixtures against Southampton, Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town.
Things could have been better for Leicester as a week prior to beating Bournemouth the Foxes put in a resolute display away at Arsenal before eventually conceding two goals in second-half stoppage time to lose 4-2.
VAR right to overturn Arsenal goal against Leicester City
When Arsenal stormed into a 2-0 first-half lead against Leicester, everyone at The Emirates assumed the result was a foregone conclusion.
However, Leicester came out the blocks strong in the second 45 minutes and a James Justin brace saw Cooper’s side level the contest at 2-2.
