Arsenal missed the chance to move up to third in the Premier League table after they were held to a 1-1 draw by a dogged Leicester City.

Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring with his first Premier League goal but Arsenal were pegged back within two minutes by Leicester's record signing Leonardo Ulloa.

The visitors dominated for long spells but appeared to miss the presence of last season's top scorer Oliver Giroud, who faces up to four months on the sidelines with a broken leg.

Arsenal sit seventh in the standings while Leicester, in 15th, remain winless but have performed well in their three games since returning to the Premier League.

Earlier, Liverpool celebrated manager Brendan Rodgers's 100th game in charge with an impressive 3-0 victory against a toothless Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

Raheem Sterling, Steven Gerrard and Alberto Moreno scored Liverpool's goals.

Gabriel Agbonlahor and Andreas Weimann hit the target as Aston Villa maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 2-1 victory over Hull City at Villa Park.
