Leicester City beat Arsenal 2-0 at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday to head into the international break in 2nd place.
The Foxes opened up an eight-point lead ahead of 6th placed Arsenal in the process following the victory.
Turkey international Caglar Soyuncu started for Leicester putting on another impressive display in defence.
Soyuncu helped his side keep another clean sheet.
Leicester have the best defensive record in the league this season conceding just eight goals in 12 games – the 23-year-old defender has started every match this term.

Even Arsenal fans were full of praise and remembered back to when the north London based outfit passed on the Turkey international.

Leicester’s famous son also bumped into Soyuncu at the airport after the game and took a cheeky selfie.

And then Soyuncu responded with this.

Leicester City also got in on the act with this response on the official club Twitter page.

I guess Soyuncu’s new nickname is going to be the Lion King then.
