Sergio Romero has 'said his goodbyes' at Man Utd ahead of transfer exit

iser A late Jamie Vardy equaliser earned Leicester a valuable 1-1 draw at Arsenal, as the hosts were left ruing Eddie Nketiah's second half red card. It was the Foxes who started brightly at the Emirates Stadium, but as so often happens the opening goal went against the run of play. Teenager Bukayo Saka burst forward down the right after collecting Dani Ceballos' perfectly weighted through ball, before squaring for captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, to slide home from close range.
