Leicester still looking for 1st win, draws 0-0 with Arsenal

LEICESTER, England (AP) Leicester is still searching for the first win of its Premier League title defense after drawing 0-0 with Arsenal on Saturday.

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, who were both heavily linked with moves to Arsenal in the offseason, had the best chances for Leicester at King Power stadium after being played through in the second half. Vardy blazed wide and Mahrez's shot was saved by Petr Cech.

Leicester opened the season with a 2-1 loss at Hull.

Arsenal also has one point from its opening two games, having already lost 4-3 to Liverpool, and never seriously tested Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

In a further blow to Leicester, new signing Nampalys Mendy went off injured early in the second half.

Leicester and Arsenal were the top two in the league last season.
