The newcomer Alexandre Lacazette got off to a perfect start by scoring within two minutes of kickoff. But as so often happens in the opening round, Arsenal imploded as Shinji Okazaki and Jamie Vardy scored to put Leicester in front.
Danny Welbeck tied the game before halftime, but Vardy restored Leicester’s lead after the break. But Leicester, which astonishingly won the league in 2016, could not hold on for its first win at Arsenal since 1973. Instead, Wenger avoided a third straight season-opening loss.
