Outstanding performance
Arsenal•MidfielderLeeds United silenced the Emirates when James Justin fired them ahead against the run of play on 55 minutes, finishing off a slick move started from a corner concession. Arsenal responded through sheer control, dominating possession at 58% and dangerous attacks 66-39, and it was Riccardo Calafiori who levelled things with a close-range finish after Ben White's header found him unmarked. The game turned when Mikel Arteta's triple substitution injected fresh legs, and within seven minutes Bruno Guimarães, barely on the pitch, curled home the winner from distance. For Leeds, the result continues a mid-table slog despite a battling display and 20 fouls committed in a physical approach, while Arsenal's comeback keeps their title credentials intact ahead of a crucial run of fixtures.
