Guimaraes puts Arsenal's title defence back on track, United held
Arsenal struck twice in eight second-half minutes to secure a comeback 2-1 win against Leeds at the Emirates Stadium and move level on points with Manchester City at the Premier League summit. After a thumping 3-0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion before the international break, Mikel Arteta's side were staring at a second shock loss in as many matches after James Justin fired the visitors ahead…
Bruno Guimaraes sparked Arsenal's resurgence as they levelled the Premier League table with a 2-1 victory over Leeds United at Emirates Stadium. John Walton/PA Wire/dpa After Brighton's crushing 3-0 defeat earlier in the week, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal were on the verge of a second consecutive loss. However, Guimaraes' goal in the 62nd minute, following Riccardo Calafiori's equaliser, staved off the threat.
Arteta praised Guimaraes, saying, "This is the level for Arsenal, every week, every game, every minute, every action that you have to be at." The Gunners' revival at home puts the pressure back on title rivals Manchester City, who face Liverpool on Sunday after recent financial breaches. Elsewhere, Tottenham's winless streak came to an end as they held United to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, thanks to a late Jordan Henderson-inspired Chelsea display which demolished Bournemouth 5-1.
