Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 14:48 · Archive
Leeds United's unbeaten start to the Premier League season ended in a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. The visitors put in a strong performance and felt they could have earned at least a point.
James Justin gave Leeds a deserved lead ten minutes into the second half, curling in after receiving Gabriel Gudmundsson's low cross. However, Arsenal equalised on 62 minutes when Riccardo Calafiori fired home from close range. Goalkeeper James Trafford appeared to be troubled by the effort. The Gunners extended their lead four minutes later when substitute Bruno Guimarães struck from the edge of the box.
Throughout the first half, Leeds created the most clear chances despite Arsenal holding 60 per cent possession. Noah Okafor's deflected effort came close to breaking the deadlock early on. Leeds continued to press after the break, with several players forcing saves from Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya before Justin's opening goal.
