Ozil turned provider twice for substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as new Arsenal manager Unai Emery recorded his 11th successive win.

Speaking after the game to , Ndidi said if the center referee Christopher Kavanagh had awarded a penalty to Leicester City for a handball by an Arsenal player the result will be different.

He said, “I would say it’s a bit disappointing in the second half, we did our bit in the first half, we did really well.

“It’s not just about looking at the first half, we need to develop the second half and go from there. It was a tight game. When we conceded the second and then the third, everything just didn’t go our way.

“If we’d have got the penalty and then the ball hadn’t hit the crossbar everything would have worked perfectly for us. We just look forward and take confidence into the next game.”

He also revealed that conceding just before the halftime mark killed their plans for the second half as they will work on their mistakes for the next game.

He said, “That really grumbled us but I think we did our bit in the first half, if we had stayed 1-0 up going into the second half we would have been more confident.

“Everything is going fine, even though we lost we’re getting used to the formation and doing our bit.

“As I said, we take the first half, also the second half we just need to learn from our mistakes and then correct it towards the next game.”
