Arsenal defeated bottom-placed Leicester City 2-1 to move back into the Premier League top four at the Emirates Stadium, leaving the latter five points adrift of safety.
Laurent Koscielny put Arsene Wenger's men ahead in the 27th minute from a Mesut Ozil cross before the lead was doubled by Theo Walcott, the BBC reported.
However, Leicester showed glimpses of resilience as Andrej Kramaric fired home his first goal since moving from Rijeka.
Arsenal are fourth in the table, leveling with third-placed Southampton at 45 points.
