Leeds United’s return to Premier League action at champions Arsenal ultimately ended in a 2-1 defeat - but how did we rate the performances?
Arsenal began brightly but without really creating any good chances and it was actually Daniel Farke’s Whites who had the best chance in a goalless first half, Gunners keeper David Raya producing a particularly good save to keep out a firm drive from Gabi Gudmundsson from an acute angle at the left hand post.
Leeds continued to threaten after the break and it was therefor no real surprise when James Justin fired them ahead with a brilliant finish to a Gabi Gudmundsson cross.
The lead though did not last long, United’s defensive hard work undone as Ricardo Calafiori got himself free to convert after Ben White had nodded a Noni Madueke cross back across goal.
The momentum was changing and Arsenal then went ahead as a flowing team move was finished off by a thumping finish from substitute Bruno Guimaraes.
