The match between Arsenal & Leeds United started with full attacking forces.
Arsenal are flying now, and Gabriel Martinelli has just had a lob cleared off the line by Luke Ayling.
Arsenal kick-off. No changes. They knock it all the way back to Ramsdale who walks 20 yards out of his goal to chip a pass up the right from which Arsenal are caught offside.
Moments after Aaron Ramsdale makes another good save to deny Jack Harrison, Luke Ayling fouls Gabriel Jesus at the other end.
Steals in at the far post to score from three yards but almost misses it, hitting the bar. Harrison let him go and responds by putting his head in his hands. Se up by Martinelli’s cross after neat work from Zinchenko.
With the usual penalty taker Bukayo Saka on the bench, Gabriel Jesus steps up to score his first goal in exactly six months. His last was against Spurs on 1 October.
Summerville shields the ball well from Holding but the space is too tight by the byline and he is bundled out with the ball. Goal kick.
Arsenal counter after defending a Leeds free-kick. Meslier comes out of the area like he did against Wolves and makes a hash of his clearance.
Martinelli strikes a volley back towards the empty net from 30 yards and Ayling scrambles it behind but almost gets his boots in a tangle trying to do it.
End to end stuff as first Summerville turns White and juts fails to set up Roca for a shot from 18 yards and then Xhaka sparks a rapid counter with a fine pass but Koch and Struijk block efforts from Jesus and Martinelli’s follow up.
Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League is back up to eight points after a 4-1 thrashing of Leeds United, as star forward Gabriel Jesus scored two goals on his first Premier League start since November after a lengthy comeback from knee surgery.
Second-place Manchester City, who still have a game in hand on the Gunners, won their league match against Liverpool by the same scoreline earlier on the same day, and Arsenal’s response leaves the table just as it was before the weekend. But the season has one less game: There are just nine matches left for Arsenal and 10 for Man City.
Despite the 4-1 scoreline, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Gunners, who uncharacteristically laboured in the first half against a Leeds team that was organised defensively and looked dangerous in transition.
The fit-again Jesus proved to be the catalyst when he came up with a solo dribbling run in the box to earn a penalty, which he stepped up to convert it. The play gave his team the relief of a breakthrough heading into halftime against the run of play.
