LEICESTER paid an emotional tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha as the grief-stricken club won 1-0 at Cardiff following their owner’s tragic death, while Alexandre Lacazette’s late equalizer gave Arsenal a 1-1 draw against new Premier League leaders Liverpool on Saturday.

Thai billionaire Vichai was among five people killed when his helicopter crashed outside Leicester’s King Power Stadium last weekend.

With Vichai’s funeral underway Saturday in Bangkok, Leicester headed to Cardiff for a match that served as a chance to honor their late owner and begin the healing process.

While results have been rendered irrelevant by the crash, it was fitting that Leicester took the points in their first match since Vichai’s death, thanks to Demarai Gray’s second-half winner at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Leicester’s players wore white t-shirts bearing Vichai’s image and the words “The Boss” on the front of them during the pre-match warmup.

A superb cross from Ben Chilwell was finished off by Gray, who celebrated by lifting his shirt to reveal a message that read “For Vichai.”

On any other weekend, the showdown between revitalized Arsenal and title-chasing Liverpool would have hogged the spotlight, which instead shone on Leicester.

The Emirates Stadium clash proved a classic encounter as Arsenal showed they are capable of going toe to toe with the top four after years of underachievement.

Unai Emery’s side fell behind to James Milner’s clinical finish after Bernd Leno pushed out Sadio Mane’s cross in the 61st minute. But fifth-placed Arsenal extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 14 games as French striker Lacazette smashed home from a tight angle in the 82nd minute.(SD-Agencies)
