Referee Chris Kavanagh initially showed just a yellow card, only to change his decision after being encouraged by VAR to consult the pitchside monitor. 75 mins: Bate and Harrison almost link up in the Arsenal box, but the Gunners clear the danger and break at pace. The one-way traffic continued after the interval, but Arsenal could not find a third goal before Diego Llorente struck to halve the deficit with Leeds’ first shot of the day.

@CannonChatter: Feel like they peaked with the first red kit since changing back to Adidas and haven't even bothered trying with the next 3. Footy Headlines say the main feature of the Arsenal 2022/23 home kit is the collar, which they describe as a white 'polo-style' one featuring a 'red zig-zag graphic'. The kit is set to be released on the 19th of May and will be worn by the players in the final Premier League game of the season against Everton on the 22nd.

The Gunners can move four points clear of rivals Spurs with a win in the race to finish in the Premier League's top four.

Newcastle United have taken only two points here in 16 previous visits, but can they throw a spanner in the works today? Dubravka never troubled in the visitors’ goal. Allan-Saint Maximin breaks free on the right-hand side after a swift counter-attack but his ball across towards Miguel Almiron is blocked. Bruno Guimaraes is looking to break forward whenever he picks up the ball in a central area. If the original header had not hit Guimaraes we’d be all level here. There is a tight scrap to avoid joining Watford and Norwich in being relegated.

Arsenal and adidas have enjoyed a fruitful relationship thus far with a number of ...

As with almost every Arsenal home kit, the sleeves are mostly white, while adidas' three stripes only feature on the shoulders. Judging by the latest revelation from ever-reliable Footy Headlines, next season's home kit is sure to get tongues wagging too. Official images of Arsenal's new adidas home kit for the 2022/23 season have leaked online.

The Emirates hosts a huge game at both ends of the table this Sunday as Champions League-chasing Arsenal welcome still-not-safe Leeds to north London.

It wasn't that long ago that Leeds looked safe from relegation, but with Everton and Burnley picking up points recently there's still a chance that Jesse Marsch's side could go down. Mikel Arteta has made just one change to the team that beat West Ham a week ago, with Cédric Soares replacing Nuno Tavares at full-back. After losing three in a row, Arsenal have now taken maximum points from their last three games, scoring nine goals in the process. Arsenal have a season-defining clash against local rivals Tottenham next Thursday, but first they must get past a Leeds side that's still fighting for their lives.

Arsenal must rediscover their composure against Leeds with some worryingly sloppy football on show in the Premier League lately.

That is when Arsenal are at their strongest and, together with the quality they have, it will be enough to see them over the line in the Premier League. It may just be the pressure telling. In order to boost their chances of securing a result in this fixture Arsenal have to rediscover their composure.

Jamie Carragher calls Ayling 'an idiot' for a challenge that rules him out of the remainder of Leeds' relegation run-in.

“He’s annoyed the flag didn’t go up. it was obviously going to be a red card. It’s a disgusting tackle coming in with two feet there.

Live score and updates from Arsenal vs. Leeds United, as the races for a Champions League spot and against relegation continue in the Premier League.

Leeds, as the Gunners aim to extend their lead over Spurs in the top-four race. 50 mins to KO: For the Gunners, Takehiro Tomiyasu will need to ply his trade in an unfamiliar role of left-back today. 1hr 30 mins to KO: Leeds will have their own aspirations of coming away from North London with all three points, in what would be a massive step towards securing their Premier League status. Can Mikel Arteta's men deliver a crucial three points in front of their own supporters? 16th min: Arsenal is in total control of proceedings, creating numerous openings that have troubled the Leeds defence. The 20-year-old has five goal contributions from 16 Premier League appearances this campaign, including a crucial 94th-minute winning goal against Norwich back in March. 5th min: GOAL! Eddie Nketiah capitalizes on a loose touch from Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier and bundles into the net from close. 60 mins to KO: Both teams are in! Nevertheless, fellow basement battlers, Everton has a game in hand on Jesse Marsch's men, signifying that they need a result to avoid the looming threat of uncertainty surrounding their Premier League status. There is also room to capitalize on Tottenham's failure to come away from Anfield with a win yesterday, potentially meaning Arsenal can move four points clear of the Lilywhites with a victory. Raphinha is also booked for the visitors. 20 mins to KO: Kick-off is fast approaching!

Whites beaten away from home. Premier League. Arsenal 2 (Nketiah 5', 10'). Leeds United 1 (Llorente 66'). Arsenal: Ramsdale ...

Leeds were then reduced to 10 players as their torrid start to the game continued. Just five minutes later, the home side doubled their lead. Jesse Marsch’s side got off to the worst possible start, conceding inside just five minutes of the game.

Eddie Nketiah's early double and Luke Ayling's red card let Jesse Marsch's relegation-threatened side with too much to do.

51 min Leeds are hell-bent on damage limitation, gathering everyone behind the ball in a 4-3-2 formation. 55 min Leeds manage half a minute of possession and win a couple of free kicks, but it’s all in their own half. 57 min Four corners in a row for Arsenal, who stand third behind Man City and Liverpool in the goals-from-corners table this season. Everton are still 2-1 up at Leicester, against the run of their whole season. Leeds get their first corner, there’s a neat flick-on and Diego Llorente is there, unmarked at the far post, to cash in with a crisp shot. Guess which of them is in the rock-star shades. Leeds are on 34 points, the same as Burnley, but are in effect a point behind because their goal difference is awful (-35) while Burnley’s is not too bad (-17). Both of them have three games to go while Everton have four. A Leeds defender tidies up on the halfway line. On the hour, Marsch plays his final card: Raphinha off, in case his yellow card turns red, and Rodrigo on. 69 min Leeds are now playing with a bit of belief. Poor old Leeds sink into the bottom three – but since going down to ten men in the 27th minute, they’ve actually won this game 1-0. So Everton are a point ahead of both Burnley and Leeds, with a game in hand.

Nketiah, who spent some time on loan at Leeds in 2019-2020, doubled Arsenal's lead on 10 minutes, diverting a Gabriel Martinelli cross into the goal to become the first Arsenal player to score twice within the opening 10 minutes of a Premier League ...

Things went from bad to worse for Leeds when Ayling was shown a straight red card for a reckless two-footed challenge on Martinelli after a VAR check upgraded the yellow originally shown by referee Chris Kavanagh. Nketiah, who spent some time on loan at Leeds in 2019-2020, doubled Arsenal's lead on 10 minutes, diverting a Gabriel Martinelli cross into the goal to become the first Arsenal player to score twice within the opening 10 minutes of a Premier League game for 20 years. Arsenal got off to a dream start when Eddie Nketiah netted twice within the opening 10 minutes, before Leeds went down to 10 men when captain Luke Ayling was shown a straight red following a VAR check just before the 30 minute mark.

Eddie Nketiah scored twice but Arsenal nearly threw it away as ten-man Leeds staged a remarkable late comeback.

Meslier even went up again in the three minutes on at the end, but it was too little too late as the best team won – just! Jesse Marsch sent on Lewis Bate for the start of the second half, but Arsenal were just as dominant. Leeds were simply overwhelmed by Arsenal's voracious appetite to win the ball and get it forward and conceded a second just five minutes later.

ARSENAL 2-1 LEEDS: Eddie Nketiah scored two goals in the opening 10 minutes to boost Arsenal's top-four hopes and send Leeds into the relegation zone after ...

Everton sit a point above the pair, who're separated by goal difference, and will be confident of beating the drop, especially with their game in hand. Just as it began to dawn on the Emirates crowd that the day's entertainment was over, Leeds pulled a goal back from their first corner and shot of the game. The goal dumfounded Aaron Ramsdale, who'd hardly had anything to do for the first hour and it perked up the Peacocks' fans, whose support had never been in question - unlike their team's quality. Meslier received the ball inside his six-yard area and in a moment reminiscent of Manchester City stopper Zack Steffen's howler against Liverpool in their recent FA Cup semi-final, took a loose touch and allowed the Arsenal striker's eyes to light up. For a match that had so many permutation at both ends of the table, it was crucial to start off on the right foot. It was a win which sent Arsenal four points clear of rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the race to finish fourth, responding to their dogged 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Saturday evening ahead of Thursday's crunch north London derby.

Arsenal now know victory in Thursday's rearranged derby clash with Spurs will guarantee them a place in next season's Champions League.

Leeds host Chelsea and Brighton before concluding at Brentford. Burnley go to Tottenham and Aston Villa and then face Newcastle at Elland Road on the final day. We must wait until the fourth week of May for all this to play out, further disturbing the game’s body clock. The awful moment that followed was more a collective failure though Meslier will carry the burden in his soul. The warping of the seasons enforced by Covid continues next term with the advent of a December World Cup. And Arsene Wenger wants us to go every two years with the global pageant. Following Everton’s accelerating revival at the King Power it looks increasingly like a straight fight between Leeds and Burnley to stay up. Llorente had already hooked the ball off his own line earlier in the game but was now on hand to score with the visitors’ first shot of the game and set up a nervy finish.

Nketiah scores a brace as we pick up three points at Emirates Stadium.

Leeds – throwing everything at the game now in their relegation fight – sent Meslier up for a late corner. We continued to dominate after the break. There was no little amount of relief when the final whistle went. We were starting to camp out in the Leeds half. The former Arsenal youth player went in two-footed on the Brazilian, and referee Chris Kavanagh’s initial booking was overturned after VAR intervention. Nketiah created the opening goal out of absolutely nothing.

Meslier went largely untested during the opening minutes and Leeds struck with their first effort of the game as Llorente popped up at the back post to turn home Junior Firpo’s flick on from a corner. Leeds traipsed off at the break having failed to register a shot on target in the opening 45 minutes – but Arsenal appeared to take their foot off the gas when the game resumed. The clash at the Emirates Stadium was always going to have repercussions at both ends of the table and the result leaves the Gunners on the cusp of a top-four finish.

The Gunners were made to sweat for all three points against Leeds United at the Emirates but eventually held on to put four points between themselves and ...

Asked on his own re-emergence in the side, he replied: "I've worked hard throughout the season so I was ready to take my chance. Nketiah himself said after the game: "It's amazing [to win], it's always nice to score, it was a big three points. "Now, he has the right empowerment and the right personnel around him and he can be judged for what he does on the pitch."

Micah Richards and Jamie Redknapp were both thoroughly impressed by Eddie Nketiah's performance during Arsenal's Premier League clash against Leeds United.

Nketiah just reads it." And former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Redknapp agreed with his colleague, hailing Nketiah for the finishing ability he showed for the Gunners' second goal. "The finish is brilliant because it’s such a hard one", the ex-England international said.

football.london looks back on some of the moments you may have missed during the Gunners' Premier League victory over Leeds at the Emirates Stadium.

Gabriel also got himself unnecessarily booked for a late tackle on the halfway line, but the Brazilian was to turn peacemaker not long after. Diego Llorente was then able to pull one back for Leeds in the second as the Gunners conceded a corner for the first time this season, which set up a tense finish, but ultimately Arteta's side held on for the three points. Odegaard obliged and won the ball back to protect the Gunners from any chance of an unlikely Leeds comeback. The Hale Ender couldn't stop a smile from creeping across his face though as he fired Arsenal closer to the top four. Nketiah then doubled Arsenal's lead a few minutes later after some good work down the left wing from Gabriel Martinelli to find him in the middle. Mikel Arteta is clearly a man with very high standards.

Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu delivered an impressive display during his side's Premier League clash against Leeds United on Sunday afternoon.

Arteta has previously hailed Tomiyasu for being ambipedal, something that he admitted he identified before signing the talented defender for £16million back in August of last year. " The 23-year-old's role was somewhat similar to how Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo has been deployed by Pep Guardiola in recent times, operating as an inverted full-back - something that he is comfortable doing given his impressive ability with both feet. This feat was even more impressive when you consider that he only attempted 40 passes in the final third, meaning not a single attempt failed to reach its target.

"When you see that he’s got an empty net in front of him and he’s taking a touch backwards, we cannot really understand", the Spaniard said. And fortunately, we didn’t need that goal." However, he opted to cut back onto his favoured left foot and was dispossessed in the process, frustrating assistant coach Stuivenburg in the process.

Arsenal took a significant step towards securing their place in next season's Champions League with a nervy 2-1 win over 10-man Leeds.

10' - GOAL! ARSENAL 2-0 LEEDS (EDDIE NKETIAH): A double from Nketiah! Arsenal are running away with this! Everton have hit form at just the right time - they have now recorded back-to-back wins after their triumph at Leicester - and it appears to be a straight shootout with Burnley for survival. He registered an early assist and the only thing missing from a complete performance was grabbing a goal for himself. 5' - GOAL! ARSENAL 1-0 LEEDS (EDDIE NKETIAH): Arsenal lead! And while Arteta will not be pleased with his side's lacklustre second-half performance, he will be relieved his side have taken a significant step towards securing a Champions League place for the first time since 2016. Llorente was unmarked at the far post, and he made no mistake by smashing it past Aaron Ramsdale.

It's becoming something of a trademark for Eddie Nketiah, chasing down the goalkeeper in possession and never giving up on a seemingly lost cause.

“It was a good finish on my left foot from me. “It was really good skill from Gabi and great cut-back,” Eddie added. “But that’s what I do.

Arsenal take on Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday looking to finish strongly in the Premier League and secure a top-four finish.

"Four weeks ago, you'd have looked at this fixture and thought what a good game for Arsenal as Leeds looked safe. "Leeds have also got plenty to play for, because they have been dragged right into the relegation scrap. With Spurs facing that tough trip to Anfield, this is a huge opportunity for Arsenal to pull away from them.
