Mathieu Flamini: 'Arsenal have to beat Leicester City'

Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini has admitted that his side's match against Leicester City next weekend is a must-win encounter.

The Foxes currently sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League table following their 3-1 away victory over Manchester City on Saturday, with Tottenham Hotspur and the Gunners in closest pursuit.

Arsenal moved up to third with a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium this afternoon, and Flamini is hopeful that they can now build on that victory.

"It was a good team effort. I am very happy for the team. We have a tough game next week against Leicester and we have to win it," he told Sky Sports News.

Arsenal scored both goals within 90 seconds of each other this afternoon, with Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain getting on the scoresheet.
