67th birthday as they held Arsenal to a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium, although the Gunners had Petr Cech to thank for a share of the points.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal, predictably, dominated possession throughout the game but it was Middlesbrough who created more chances.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-63340\"

with free-kick before forcing Cech into wonderful point-blank save with a back-post header, while the Czech glovesman came to the Gunners\u2019 rescue again with a smart double save to thwart a Boro counter-attack.<\/p>\n<p>Victor Valdes was also impressive when called upon, with the former Barcelona and Manchester United keeper leaping across his line to deny a Alexis Sanchez free-kick, and he was on hand with another superb stop to deny Sanchez again after the break.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-63342\"

from Arsenal, but the hosts struggled to create.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal thought they had won it in stoppage time when Mesut Ozil had the ball in the net, only for the linesman\u2019s flag to halt celebrations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leicester 3-1 Crystal Palace<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sport.citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Leicester-Musa-goal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

went to the Clarents thanks to Arfield\u2019s late strike, finding the bottom corner with a neat finish after Johann Berg Gudmundsson\u2019s long-range effort came back out off the bar.<\/p>\n<p><a

sending a fine drive into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n<p>It leaves David Moyes&#8217; side rooted to the foot of the Premier League with just two points from their first nine games.<\/p>\n<p><a
