Former Northern Ireland manager Ian Barraclough believes Leicester will "take real good heart" from their performance at

The Foxes' were on course to take a point away from the Emirates before two injury-time goals helped the Gunners to all three points. Speaking to BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast after the game, Barraclough said: "They'll be sore at the moment, it will be hurting for sure because they got themselves back into the game that many would feel they didn't have any right to be involved in.

"Two good goals brought them back into the game and you go into the 90th minute and they had defended every set piece that had been thrown at them.

"To have fought their way back into it, to have been a little bit braver and a bit cleaner with their passing to get themselves higher up the pitch and back into the game - they'll take real good heart from it."

Despite the full time emotions being of disappointment, Barraclough believes there were lots of positives to come from the game: "When the emotions die down from it all, the management and coaching staff will accentuate the positives that have happened.

"For me it's a case of saying listen we've gone toe-to-toe with I think the best in the Premier League this season so far, and we can come out with a lot of confidence."
