Arsenal fight back to beat Leeds 2-1; Arteta: 'my eyes were in pain'

📰 In their first game since the 3-0 shock at Brighton, Arsenal came from behind to beat previously unbeaten Leeds. 📌 Key points 😨 Leeds' James Justin opened the scoring in the 55th minute. ⚽ Calafiori levelled seven minutes later from Ben White's header. 🔄 Substitute Bruno Guimarães scored the winner in the 70th minute. 🧤 David Raya made four saves before Leeds went ahead. 📈 Arsenal now have five wins from six. 📝 What happened 🧤 It was a sluggish start. Arsenal had only five shots in the 55 minutes before Leeds scored, and Kai Havertz headed straight at the goalkeeper. Raya made four saves, but could not stop Justin finishing Gabriel Gudmundsson's cross in the 55th minute. ⚽ Arsenal came alive after falling behind. In the 62nd minute, Noni Madueke's cross was headed across by White and Calafiori finished from close range. Arteta made a triple substitution after the equaliser. 🔄 It paid off. Guimarães ran onto Declan Rice's flick and drove the ball into the bottom corner from the edge of the box, his first Emirates goal since joining from Newcastle in the summer. Late chances for Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka were saved by Leeds goalkeeper Trafford or went wide. 🎙️ Arteta said: "We had a point to prove, something was touched in our identity against Brighton," adding: "To witness that game, my eyes were in pain." Leeds boss Daniel Farke said his side "fully deserved to go and lead". 📊 By the numbers • Arsenal's league record: five wins from six • Leeds: unbeaten before this game, first league defeat of the season • Arsenal shots: five in 55 minutes before conceding, five in 15 minutes after • Raya saves before Leeds scored: 4 🔭 Why it matters The win took Arsenal level on points with leaders Manchester City, though City's victory at Liverpool the next day restored their three-point lead.
