Arsenal key player Mikel Merino has brought glory for the Gunners by scoring a brace of two goals for the team at King Power Stadium on Saturday evening.
Mikel Arteta’s side was in danger of wasting a chance to put pressure on Liverpool in the title race as they laboured to make the breakthrough at the King Power Stadium.
Due to the limited attacking options of many injuries, Arteta sent on Spain midfielder Merino to act as a makeshift striker in the closing stages.

Furthermore, It proved an inspired move as Merino netted twice in the last nine minutes to extend Arsenal’s unbeaten run in the league to 15 games.
Liverpool, who stumbled with a draw at Everton in their game in hand on Wednesday, can increase their lead back to seven points if they beat lowly Wolves at Anfield on Sunday.
Having ruled out Kai Havertz for the season after suffering a hamstring injury while blocking a shot during Arsenal’s recent training trip to Dubai, Arteta was left with a threadbare attack.

In conclusion, the injury blow to Kai Havertz came just weeks after Arsenal failed to sign Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins during the January transfer window.
