Arsenal came from behind to beat Leeds United 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium, moving level on 15 points with Premier League leaders Manchester City. James Justin put Leeds ahead in the second half, but Ricardo Calafiori equalised before substitute Bruno Guimaraes scored the winning goal in the 70th minute.
Leeds defended well in the first half and created chances on the counter-attack before Justin converted Gabriel Gudmundsson’s low cross to give the visitors the lead. Calafiori responded seven minutes later, volleying home after Ben White’s header across goal, while Guimaraes completed the comeback with a low finish following a passing move involving Declan Rice.
The victory marked Arsenal’s ninth consecutive win over Leeds in all competitions and extended their unbeaten run against the club to 17 matches. Leeds suffered their sixth straight defeat at the Emirates, while Arsenal returned to winning ways after the international break. Manchester City’s upcoming match could determine which side holds the top spot in the Premier League.
