Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory against Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium. The game was not vintage Arsenal, but they managed to take the lead through a Gabriel Jesus penalty after Ayling caught him on the knee long after the ball had gone. Leeds had been the better side, but Arsenal’s patience paid off. Gabriel Jesus then set up White to score from three yards, but he almost missed it, hitting the bar. Leeds had a spell of probing possession as Arsenal dropped deep, but ultimately, Arsenal looked far more comfortable and secured the win.
Leeds travelled to the Emirates with some hope from recent performances, but their record there was not good. Arsenal had won five times and drawn once on their trips in league and Cup since the Gunners moved from Highbury. During the match at Elland Road earlier this season, Leeds rattled Arsenal in the second half, but Arsenal managed to hold on to win. Leeds lost their two best players since Christmas to injury while on international duty, and Tyler Adams is touch and go to return before the end of the season while Stuart Dallas and Adam Forshaw are still some way off.
Arsenal started the game without Takehiro Tomiyasu, Mohamed Elneny, Eddie Nketiah, and William Saliba, but Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney should be OK. Leeds played with five at the back, Kristensen and Firpo as wing-backs, Ayling tucked in. Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli alternated on the left and through the middle. Leeds had silenced the crowd somewhat with their bright start, but Arsenal managed to secure the win.
In conclusion, Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory against Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium. Leeds had been the better side, but Arsenal’s patience paid off. Leeds travelled to the Emirates with some hope from recent performances, but their record there was not good. Arsenal started the game without Takehiro Tomiyasu, Mohamed Elneny, Eddie Nketiah, and William Saliba, but Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney should be OK. Arsenal managed to hold on to win, bringing a first title for 19 years closer.
