The security staff appeared to have the situation under control, though, as crowds began to disperse after a short stand off.

It was about as much incident there was on Saturday night as the champions and Arsene Wenger's side played out a 0-0 draw.

Both teams remain winless after their opening two Premier League games, with champions Leicester frustrating the visitors for long spells on Saturday evening.

Theo Walcott threatened, but Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was rarely forced into serious action.

It only added to the growing calls for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger - who was urged to spend by the travelling fans - to find a new striker as the visitors never capitalised on their territorial dominance.

For the hosts, Danny Drinkwater had strong penalty claims dismissed as Jamie Vardy, who rejected Arsenal over the summer before signing a new deal with Leicester, and his team-mates fired blanks.
