Claude Puel said all the key moments went against his Leicester City side as they slumped to defeat at Arsenal.

City had a strong shout for a penalty when Rob Holding appeared to handle the ball in the Gunners box, and as he had just been booked as well a penalty and possible red card could have been brandished, but Puel was left astonished as referee Chris Kavanagh didn’t give the decision.

Mesut Ozil then equalised just before half-time after City had taken a 1-0 lead and dominated large parts of the first half and then in the second period goals from substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang inside four minutes settled the game, with City carved open by the Gunners.

Puel reflected on the decision that wasn’t given that he felt changed the game.

“I didn’t understand why,” said Puel.

“I saw this penalty, this hand above his head to stop the ball. I don’t understand.

“All the stadium and all the people saw the penalty, and in this moment with our domination in the game.

“We can continue this good performance 11 against ten with a penalty and possibly a goal, and then be in a situation to manage this game.

“Of course all the scenarios were against us tonight. Of course I am angry about this.

“We will analyse it afterwards and say it is not enough in the second half without the same quality and we analyse whether it was tiredness or a lack of concentration, but it is a shame.

“I am very disappointed for the players.

“I think in this game the crucial moments all went against us, with this goal conceded and the penalty, because for me it was a penalty and a second yellow card, a sending off for the Arsenal player. This could change the game.

“The second half was not enough and perhaps we were a little tired, but we have had another moment or we can be leading in the game with the header against the bar from Wilfred Ndidi.

“We can come back in a good feeling and spirit at this moment. All the scenarios were against us tonight.

“There was a lot of disappointment because we deserved another result.”
