Tielemans hails Leicester win at Arsenal: Very important

Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans hailed victory over Arsenal on Sunday.

Jamie Vardy headed home the only goal of the game with 10 minutes remaining to give Leicester a first away win at Arsenal in 47 years.

"We are absolutely buzzing from that win," Tielemans told LCFC TV.

“I think it was a very important one.

“We came from two back-to-back defeats in the Premier League, so it was really important to have a result.

“We knew that we had to be patient, especially in that first half, with them being on the ball and trying to break through our lines and in behind.

“We had to keep our lines narrow and really tight and try to break on the counter and that's what we did. That's where the goal came from and we are really happy with the result."
