At half-time on Saturday, it looked like being another damaging afternoon for Cooper and his players, who trailed 2-0 and had offered minimal resistance against a dominant Arsenal side.
The second half was a totally different story.
James Justin equalised just over a minute after the restart before equalising with a stunning volley from Wilfred Ndidi's left-wing cross, his swerving shot striking the inside of the post on its way in.
Goalkeeper Mads Hermansen produced a string if magnificent saves towards the end of the game, denying Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz, Riccardo Calafiori and second-half Arsenal substitute Ethan Nwaneri.
But something had to give and the Gunners eventually broke Foxes' hearts when Ndidi inadvertently turned in Trossard's close-range effort, with Havertz completing the scoring five minutes later.
Cooper will be proud of his players once the dust settles on this one - but that may take some time.
Image source, Getty ImagesLeicester boss Steve Cooper, has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day following today's defeat: "Tough one to take to be fair. Proud of the second half performance particularly. If it's a team that's not together, they can really go under after the first-half but it was great to score as early as we did in the second half and then go to 2-2.
"You know you are going to suffer here at time against a really good time like Arsenal at the Emirates but I felt like we were coping really well. To have that deflection for the third goal is just a bit of where our luck is but then the fourth goal is against the run of play.
"It's another loss and the results always write the narrative but there was so much to be positive about, particularly in the second half and we've got to try and keep going keep capitalising on what is going okay and just improve."
On what was said at half-time: "Just to stick with it to be honest. It was disappointing with the way we concede the goals because they are typical Arsenal goals with the cut-backs, we've done a lot of work trying to deal with that.
"I don't want to make the headlines around referees because I'm trying to take responsibility for a team trying to do better in the Premier League but it's a clear foul on Jamie Vardy for the first goal and the left-back [Riccardo Calafiori] has to get sent off for a second yellow but there's so much more we could say, the whole game knows but I'm not going down that road today."
On James Justin's second goal: "Great goal, straight off one of the moves that we work on in terms of where we want people to get the ball. It's a brilliant finish. Good to see that come off. Just a pity that it didn't mean more in the game."
On Mads Hermansen's saves: "We're really happy with Mads, he's a talented young goalkeeper and he is on the right path. He didn't deserve to concede that third goal with the deflection but it can happen unfortunately. He didn't deserve to concede a goal like that, neither did the rest of the guys.
"You have to stand up, you have to keep believing in what you are doing. These are the demands of the Premier League. We fell on the wrong side today."

BBC Radio 5 Live commentaries:
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For week six, he takes on Maximo Park singer Paul Smith, whose latest album, Stream Of Life, is out on Friday.
Arsenal host Leicester at 15:00 BST on Saturday.
Sutton's prediction: 2-0
Are we going to see Arsenal park the bus again? It was more like a couple of buses than just one in front of their goal against Manchester City.
There is a lot of attention on Gunners boss Mikel Arteta and his approach, and whether people view his team as too negative - they were also very defensive against Atalanta in the Champions League last week - but it's what happens in the end that counts.
If this is all part of a long-term plan and Arsenal end up winning the Premier League, then you have to take your hat off to Arteta. In any case, I'm expecting them to be much more attack-minded here.
There was a bit of negativity towards Leicester boss Steve Cooper from Foxes fans when their side got past Walsall on penalties in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, but they need to be patient with him.
I always felt it was going to be very difficult for all three promoted clubs this season, and I predicted they would all go down, just like all three did last time.
Leicester have had great success in the Premier League previously, finishing fifth two seasons running in 2020-21 and 2021-22 after winning it in 2015-2016, but their circumstances are completely different now. Right now their season is all about their struggle to stay up.
Losing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea in the summer was a big blow because he knitted everything in midfield and, as a team, I would say they are a work in progress.
The problem for Leicester is you don't want to be playing Arsenal when you are a work in progress. This is going to be an extremely tough afternoon for them, and I can't see them getting anything at the Emirates.
Smith's prediction: 3-0
Leicester are up against it this season, for sure. Arsenal are going to be dominant and once one goal goes in, another couple will follow.
