Guimaraes grabs winner as Arsenal rally to beat Leeds
In a thrilling Premier League encounter, Arsenal staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Leeds United 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Brazilian forward Bruno Guimaraes came off the bench to score the winning goal in the 70th minute, sending a low shot into the far corner.
The visitors struggled in the first half, failing to create any meaningful chances. They fell behind in the 37th minute when James Justin capitalized on a clever pull-back from fellow substitute Gabriel Gudmundsson.
Leeds leveled matters seven minutes after the break, with Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori jumping to head home Ben White's knock-down. However, Guimaraes' second-half strike proved decisive for Arsenal, as his brilliantly worked goal secured the victory.
With this win, Arsenal climbed to second place in the table on 15 points, trailing Manchester City by goal difference. Leeds, on the other hand, remain fifth in the league with nine points.
