Leeds United vs. Arsenal result highligh

ELLAND ROAD, LEEDS Bukayo Saka made it nine wins out of 10 for Arsenal as the Premier League leaders came through a frantic afternoon at Leeds with a battling 1-0 win.Play was suspended for almost 40 minutes during the first half due to a power cut that compromised the officials communication systems. Arsenal played with controlled poise upon the restart and led 10 minutes before the break Saka capitalising on a wildly wayward pa s from Rodrigo Moreno to dispatch a lovely finish beyond Islan Meslier.Patrick Bamford came on for Rodrigo at halftime and changed the complexion of the contest, rifling home within a minute, only to be penalised for a foul on Gunners centre-back Gabriel.Bamford then Adam Shaheen Jersey mi sed a penalty after William Saliba's 60th minute handball. The forward thought he would have chance to atone amid a dramatic stoppage-time conclusion, grasping the ball to take another kick from 12 yards before both a red card and penalty decision against Gabriel were overturned on a VAR review by referee Chris Kavanagh. 1H 2H Final LEE000ARS101Goals:ARS Bukayo Saka (Martin Odegaard) 35th min. Bukayo Saka simply cannot stop contributing for Arsenal this season, scoring the only goal of the game giving the Gunners a 1-0 away win against Leeds United! Sporting News Football Club (@sn_footballclub) Rodrigo was Leeds major attacking threat along with Luis Sinisterra during the first half, with the duo combining to force the 20th-minute corner from which Pascal Struijk forced a fine save from Aaron Ramsdale.But it was hard to fathom what he was thinking when he aimed an aerial diagonal ball backwards acro s his own half towards left-back Struijk. Saka won the aerial duel and darted onto a return pa s from Martin Odegaard to finish with aplomb.The Richard Dent Jersey second half was bookended by let-offs for Gabriel, first when Bamford was adjudged to have fouled him when converting Jack Harrisons knockdown.Kavanagh found himself leaning heavily on VAR, initially having mi sed Salibas fairly clear handball. Ramsdale gue sed correctly but it did not matter as Bamfords kick zipped beyond his left-hand post.The England goalkeeper had more meaningful involvement with a couple of one-on-one saves to deny Bamford, while he was grateful to see Gabriel block and deny Sinisterra from close range.Substitute Crysencio Summerville blazed an 89th-minute chance over before the chaotic and prolonged conclusion. Bamford and Gabriel clashed, with the latter going to the ground and appearing to kick out at the Leeds attacker.That was the view of the officials on the field but a trip to the monitor persuaded Kavanagh that Bamford had fouled Gabriel initially and the defenders punishment was downgraded from red to yellow.MORE: There has been plenty to like about Arsenal this season. The intelligent industry of Gabriel Jesus in attack, the controlling midfield dominance of Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey and the increased a surance of a more settled defensive unit. Hardly any of that was on display at Elland Road. They were awful for vast chunks of the second half and needed a mi sed penalty and a VAR reprieve to get over the line.Ramsdale was their man of the match. When that distinction goes to a goalkeeper, its hardly a ringing endorsement of whats gone on ahead of him. But after the quality shown by Odegaard and Saka as they opportunistically grasped the game-winning moment, it was time to dig in. This was the sort of game Arsenal absolutely did not win last season or, come to mention it, many other times over the past decade or so. This is a new Arsenal, as their four-point lead at the top of the league table demonstrates. Our No.1 What a performance from Arsenal (@Arsenal) Sakas status as the diamond in Artetas configuration goes far beyond raw numbers. His technical excellence and tirele s work rate frequently sets the tone Prince Amukamara Jersey . But he is now finding output to match his obvious quality. The England wingers little gem of a finish was his fourth goal this week, following a brace against Liverpool and a Europa League strike against Bodo Akiem Hicks Jersey /Glimt. With 26 goals and 24 a sists, he is the first player of Artetas tenure to ama s 50 goal contributions. It feels strange to highlight a striker who mi sed a penalty and hasnt scored in the Premier League since last December as something to cling on to for Leeds, but Bamford changed the whole complexion of the contest. On another day, he might have had a hat-trick.His drought owes much to wretched luck with injuries and Leeds badly need him to catch a break. During the first half, they were full of hard work but low on quality. Marschs season - and perhaps fate - will not be decided by heart-on-sleeve performances against the elite, as welcome as those are. Matches against Leicester, Fulham, Bournemouth and Wolves in the six games before the World Cup break might well do and Bamford should have a big say in those. Je se: "Keep playing like that, we have big potential. It's a long-term project" Leeds United (@LUFC) Fulltime:Arteta punches the air in sheer delight. Elland Road boos the officials then rises to applaud their team. What an absolutely crazy afternoon of football in the Barclays, which is now led by Arsenal by four points. Thanks for being with us!90th minute+9: Ramsdale out of his goal - where's he going? Gabriel heads the cro s behind. Up comes Meslier!90th minute+5:OVERTURNED!After looking at the screen, Kavanagh decides Bamford fouled Gabriel first, so there'll be no penalty. The Brazilian then gets his red card downgraded to a yellow, which doesn't make an awful lot of sense. But not a lot about this afternoon does at this point.90th minute+4: Hang on, Kavanagh is looking at the screen. It's all going off down in the dugouts. Is he going to overturn this?90th minute+2:Red card for Gabriel and penalty to Leeds!!!!!!Oh my word! Bamford collides with Gabriel, who goes down and appears to kick out at the forward. The linesman certainly thinks so, he's off! It's Dan Hampton Jersey a penalty too, and Bamford has the ball!90th minute: There will be six minutes of stoppage time. This might feel like an age for Arsenal, who've been forced to dig in for much of the second half.89th minute:Big Leeds chance!Bamford again, finding a clever flick to Aaronson. The USA international cuts back to Summerville but the youngster can only blaze over. Gelhardt comes on for Sinisterra.87th minute: It's taken short and Martinelli runs it out of play. Arteta is not amused.86th minute: Martinelli handil
