Mikel Merino solved Arsenal's attacking problems with two late goals off the bench to secure a 2-0 win at relegation-threatened Leicester in the Premier League. With Arsenal's makeshift front three struggling to create chances, Merino went on in the 69th minute and quickly got on the end of two good crosses to decide the game. Manchester City has found a new scoring threat, too. January signing Omar Marmoush netted a 14-minute hat trick in the first half of a 4-0 win over Newcastle that lifted Pep Guardiola's team into fourth place. They are only three points behind Nottingham Forest, which lost at Fulham 2-1.
