Arsenal fight back to beat Leeds, draw level on points with Man City
Mikel Arteta’s side struggled against well-organised opponents in the first half but improved after the break to secure their fifth win in six games this season.
In Saturday's Premier League match, Arsenal staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Leeds United 2-1, leveling the league table with Manchester City. After a three-week international break, the champions found their rhythm to secure five wins in their opening six games of the season.
Leeds took the lead in the second half through James Justin, who capitalized on a well-executed move to score in the 55th minute. However, Arsenal quickly equalized with a goal from Riccardo Calafiori, and substitute Bruno Guimaraes sealed the win with a well-executed team effort late in the match.
The win brought Arsenal's total points to 15, placing them just behind league leaders Manchester City, who currently have a better goal difference. City, who have a game in hand, are set for a challenging match against Liverpool on Sunday following their recent guilty verdict for financial irregularities.
