Arsene Wenger: 'Arsenal performed well against Leicester City'

Arsene Wenger believes that Arsenal put in a "good performance" against Premier League champions Leicester City in Saturday's goalless draw at the King Power Stadium.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has praised his players for a "good performance" against Leicester City in their 0-0 draw at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Both the Gunners and the Foxes were aiming to bounce back from Premier League opening-weekend losses, to Liverpool and Hull City respectively, but could not find a breakthrough in a tight game.

Wenger told BBC Sport after the game: "I think overall it was a good performance, a good match between two good teams. It was a game of top level intensity and I believe we responded well to last week's disappointment.

"Leicester are a good team - they did not win the league and only lose three games last season for nothing. We had to fight until the end. We could have lost or won it in the last 20 minutes. We wanted to win the game and we finished with five attacking players on the pitch."

Arsenal are without a win from their first two games and already find themselves five points behind Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Hull City in the table.
