The Gunners went behind after eight minutes when Youri Tielemans capitalised on some sloppy defending to give the Foxes the lead.
But the Gunners drew level when David Luiz headed in a Willian corner kick six minutes before the half time.
The Gunners completed the comeback in stoppage time after Alexandre Lacazette scored from the penalty spot after Wilfred Ndidi was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box.
Meanwhile, Nicolas Pepe made it three scoring in the 52nd minute when he tapped in from close range from another assist from Willian.
Mikel Arteta had to make a big decision in the game when Smith-Rowe was injured.
Emile Smith Rowe hobbled off in the first half and was replaced by Real Madrid loanee Martin Odegaard.
The 20 years old has been a revelation with the Gunners this season in the creative role haven scored five goals in 22 games this season under Mikel Arteta.
Speaking after the game, Arteta confirmed that it's a muscular injury and was withdrawn due to precautions.
"It was a muscular injury, he wasn't feeling very comfortable so we decided to take him out," said Arteta."Hopefully it's not too bad."
This means that the Gunners will be hopeful that Smith Rowe recovers in time ahead of their next Premier League fixture away at Burnley on Saturday.
Arteta also blamed the lack of pre-season break behind players injuries.
He said: "It's insane the number of games and minutes these players are playing without any pre-season or break."
