Arsenal vs Leeds live: Final score, goals, highlights, reaction
Arsenal defeated Leeds United 2-1 in a Premier League match, with goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Bruno Guimaraes. The victory keeps Arsenal near the top of the league table alongside Manchester City.
Why it matters
The result is significant for the Premier League title race and highlights the tactical adjustments made by manager Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal got back in the Premier League win column after three weeks away from the pitch, coming back to beat previously-unbeaten Leeds 2-1 in North London.
The Gunners join Man City with the division’s best points total after Riccardo Calafiori and Bruno Guimaraes scored eight minutes apart to overcome James Justin’s opener for Leeds.
Arsenal improve to 5-0-1, good for 15 points and a spot below City on goal differential. Leeds drop to 2-3-1 and stay on nine points.
It isn’t a big surprise that Mikel Arteta’s substitutions changed Arsenal’s fate against Leeds on Saturday. It’s also not a slight to the manager that the moves were, indeed, obvious ones — Arsenal is driven by his calculations and pragmatism.
