Calafiori and Guimaraes strike to spare Arsenal's blushes against dogged Leeds
On a weekend dominated by Manchester City's financial verdict, Arsenal produced a clinical second-half response against a resilient Leeds side to make it five wins from six.
Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Leeds at the Emirates, pulling level with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. Mikel Arteta's side struggled in the first half but found their form after the break, winning five of their six matches this season. James Justin put Leeds ahead just before halftime, but Riccardo Calafiori equalized for Arsenal shortly after.
Bruno Guimaraes then scored the winning goal for Arsenal, completing a team effort. The match took place as City faced a financial misconduct verdict from the Premier League. Arsenal, unbeaten before their loss to Brighton, showed strong performances with Calafiori and substitute Bruno Guimaraes. Leeds' goalkeeper, David Raya, was a key player in preventing goals, stopping several shots effectively. The win brings Arsenal to 15 points, just behind City's lead.
