Grief-stricken Leicester wins, Liverpool draws with Arsenal
The smiles returned briefly to the faces of Leicester’s players on Saturday following the most traumatic week of their careers.
In its first game since the death of club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a helicopter crash last weekend, Leicester won an emotional and highly charged English Premier League match at promoted Cardiff 1-0.
“That was a tough game, not just on the pitch, but mentally,” goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel said. “I am proud of this team and the club, the way everyone has handled themselves has been unbelievable.”
James Milner scored his 50th league goal as Liverpool drew at Arsenal 1-1 to move one point clear of second-placed Manchester City. City plays on Sunday against Southampton at home.
