Arsenal beats Leeds as Guimarães scores on home debut

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 19:48 · Archive

Bruno Guimarães scored on his home debut as Arsenal beat Leeds 2-1 in the Premier League.

Arsenal recovered to beat Leeds 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday, with substitute Bruno Guimarães scoring just four minutes after being sent on. It was the Brazil midfielder's second goal for Arsenal since joining from Newcastle in the offseason, and his first at home. He celebrated by diving into the crowd.

The win came as Arsenal marked coach Mikel Arteta's contract extension, signed this week. It was also a bounce back from a heavy defeat at Brighton before the international break. Arsenal moved level on points with Manchester City at the top of the table.

Arteta said the performance represented the standard required. 'This is the level for Arsenal, every week, every game, every minute, every action that you have to be at,' he said. Guimarães 'wasn't at that level' against Brighton but was 'much better' against Leeds, Arteta added, noting the midfielder has yet to reach full fitness after missing preseason.

For Leeds, it was a first defeat. The club had hoped to leapfrog Arsenal into second with a win, courtesy of a better goal difference.
