Guimaraes puts Arsenal title defence back on track

Arsenal struck twice in eight second-half minutes to secure a comeback 2-1 win against Leeds at the Emirates Stadium and move level on points with Manchester City at the Premier League summit.

After a thumping 3-0 defeat at Brighton before the international break, Mikel Arteta's side were staring at a second shock loss in as many matches after James Justin fired the visitors ahead with 55 minutes gone.

However, Riccardo Calafiori drew the champions level when he converted Ben White’s header from close range in the 62nd minute, before substitute Bruno Guimaraes struck the decisive blow just six minutes after he came off the bench.

Arsenal were below their best against a well-drilled Leeds side, who, prior to today’s lunchtime contest, were unbeaten in the league.
