Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang celebrates scoring Arsenal’s opener
(Reuters)
Arsenal are taking on Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium today aiming to end a slump in form. The Gunners are without a win in three league games after drawing with Manchester United before back-to-back defeat against Wolves and Aston Villa, but they can climb back above Leeds and into the top half once more with victory today.
Leeds are going well with three wins from their last four games and and will be hoping to keep ahead of Arsenal in mid-table. Patrick Bamford has been in particularly good form of late and his tally of 12 goals is bettered only by five players in the Premier League so far this season. Only the top four have scored more goals than Leeds’ 38 so far this season, while only the league leaders Manchester City have conceded fewer than Arsenal’s 23.
Follow all the action from the game below.
ARSENAL 1-0 LEEDS (37’)
Leeds look to take advantage of their reprieve, going straight up the other end and winning a corner. Raphinha’s delivery is disappointing, though, headed clear at the near post.

No penalty! The decision is reversed. Saka’s not happy, but Leeds are relieved. In truth, there was very little in the challenge from Cooper.

Stuart Attwell will go over to the monitor to look at this. Saka perhaps went down a little easily.

ARSENAL 1-0 LEEDS (33’)
Penalty for Arsenal! Saka plays a one-two with Odegaard and surges into the box, accelerating past Cooper and going down under a challenge from the Leeds defender. The referee immediately points to the spot.

ARSENAL 1-0 LEEDS (28’)
Chance! Luiz sets off on a driving run from defence, plays a one-two with Saka and finds himself clear in the Leeds area. He cuts the ball back for Aubameyang, whose first-time shot is deflected just over the bar.

ARSENAL 1-0 LEEDS (26’)
Leno is called into action. Raphinha is picked out on the right, jinks inside and slides a pass across to Harrison, who gets the ball out of his feet and drills a shot towards the near post. The goalkeeper is equal to it, making a comfortable save.

ARSENAL 1-0 LEEDS (24’)
The visitors have enjoyed most of the possession since Aubameyang’s goal but Arsenal are doing a good job of closing off spaces and keeping Leeds’ forward players relatively quiet.

ARSENAL 1-0 LEEDS (20’)
Leeds are starting to show some signs of life in attack, undeterred, as ever, by going behind early on. One goal is rarely enough to get the better of Bielsa’s side.

ARSENAL 1-0 LEEDS (19’)
Raphinha, in superb form of late, flicks the ball into the path of Klich, who curls a shot over the bar from the edge of the box.

ARSENAL 1-0 LEEDS (16’)
Luiz sends a long ball towards Aubameyang, making another clever run in behind the Leeds defence. He looks in the mood today. This time the pass is a little too heavy, though.
