Arsenal moved into the Premier League top four with a win that left bottom club Leicester City five points adrift of safety.
Mesut Ozil whipped in a corner for Laurent Koscielny to tap in from close range and later saw a shot saved, allowing Theo Walcott to volley home.
But the Foxes rallied as Andrej Kramaric scored a first goal in English football with a low second-half shot.
He was also denied late on by keeper David Ospina as the Gunners held on.
