Arsenal had taken the lead after just 15 minutes. However, O’Grady equalised for the battling Foxes 11 minutes before half time. After a succession of shots on goal, O’Grady seized one of the rebounds to slot home from close range.
This wasn’t a setback for the visitors who promptly raced in to a 4-1 lead.
Scott Gemmill shockingly scored late on to make it 4-2. Gemmill latched on to a long ball to force a save out of Stuart Taylor in the Arsenal goal. However, Taylor’s block from Gemmill’s effort fell kindly for him to convert in to an empty net.
