Story summary

Arsenal faced Leeds in a crucial Premier League match after an international break during which Arsenal suffered multiple injuries. TV coverage started at 11am BST, with kickoff at 12:30pm, and was broadcast on TNT Sports 1. Both teams had injury concerns; Arsenal's Kai Havertz and Ezri Konsa were doubtful post-international duty, while Leeds' Daniel James and Joe Rodon would miss the game.

Despite going behind early in the second half when James Justin scored for Leeds, Arsenal staged a comeback with goals from Riccardo Calafiori and substitute Bruno Guimaraes, securing a 2-1 win. This victory helped Arsenal maintain their title contention, moving them level on points with Manchester City at the top of the table.

Manager Mikel Arteta praised Bruno Guimaraes' performance but noted he still needed to improve his consistency after scoring in consecutive matches from the bench. The match highlighted Arsenal's ability to recover despite early setbacks and reinforced the importance of key signings like Guimaraes for future success.
