LEICESTER, England (Reuters) -Arsenal made light of the absence of any specialist strikers as midfielder Mikel Merino scored both goals in a 2-0 win at Leicester City that kept the north London club's Premier League title challenge very much on track on Saturday.

Merino's brace allowed second-placed Arsenal to cut Liverpool's advantage to four points although the leaders will be confident of restoring their seven-point gap against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.
