Copyright 2023 The Arsenal Football Club plc. He brings a lot of energy, quality, movement and chaos. Bukayo Saka drops down to the bench to accommodate the Brazilian after struggling with illness over the past couple of days, in what is the only change to our side that beat Crystal Palace in our last league game before the international break.

Arsenal 4 - 1 Leeds United FC - Match Report (Arsenal.com)

Gabriel Jesus scored his first two goals since coming back from injury to help us to a comfortable win.

Despite only joining the club in January, Leandro Trossard has the joint-second highest number of Premier League assists for us this season (7). And then on 55 minutes, Jesus doubled his tally for the afternoon. After our sluggish start to the first 45, we made amends after the restart and quickly wrapped up the points with two further goals. He first fooled his way past Kristensen and then bamboozled Ayling before he was tripped by our former academy product. Darren England pointed to the spot, allowing the Brazillian to coolly tuck the ball down the middle from 12 yards to end his long wait for a goal. Just like Bournemouth did last month, they nearly caught us cold straight from the kick-off, and Aaron Ramsdale was forced into his first save after just eight seconds when he pushed away a Kristensen strike.

Gabriel Jesus scored his first goals in six months to restore Arsenal's lead to eight points at the top of the Premier league table with just nine matches to play.

Arsenal take another step with dominant win over Leeds (The42)

Arsenal remain eight points clear of Manchester City, although the reigning champions have one game in hand on the Gunners.

The Gunners doubled their lead early in the second half, White turning home a Martinelli cross at the far post for his second of the season. Ayling almost turned into his own goal as he fluffed his lines clearing away a long-range Gabriel Martinelli effort, the Brazilian aiming to score into an empty net after Meslier tore of his line only to play the ball straight into his path. The Brazil forward had not scored since October but converted a first-half penalty he had won himself and then added the third after former Leeds loanee Ben White had doubled the lead – Rasmus Kristensen pulling a goal back for Leeds before Granit Xhaka’s header secured the points.

Illan Meslier then intercepted a through ball from Martin Odegaard, before the ball fell to Gabriel Martinelli who attempted a lobbed effort, but Ayling got back on the line to clear for a corner, as the Whites went in trailing by a single goal at the break. Inside nine seconds, after Leeds broke forward, the ball popped up kindly for Rasmus Kristensen to strike at goal, but he was denied by a really good stop by Aaron Ramsdale. The hosts almost doubled their lead five minutes before the break.

'A huge moment for Arsenal and Jesus' (BBC Sport)

Leeds fans could have been forgiven for fearing the worst after watching Gabriel Jesus open the scoring for Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

"I don't look at the table and the other teams. "But the second was magnificent. "Today he deserved the chance to start. It is going to be an exciting run-in." Man City have the bigger squad but Arsenal keep getting through the games and winning games. He has won a staggering 49 of those and drawn the other three. It's games like these when you need your big players." "We were all clapping for him. "The most important thing is that everyone who has come in has played well. He grabbed the opportunity with a lot of conviction - and with two goals." Everyone is playing so well. "I'm delighted for him," Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said after the game.

Take a look at the best of the action from Emirates Stadium as we ran out winners with Gabriel Jesus netting twice.

However, when the ref said to me I was going off, I was a little bit disappointed because I want to play, but of course I respect the manager and the other players as well. Reflecting on his time out, he added: “I love challenges. “The most important thing is always the three points. That’s the best way to take penalties. “It was so good playing again, starting again and feeling the atmosphere of the crowd,” he said post-match. “I want to score and I practise [penalties],” he said.

Preview: Arsenal Women v Manchester City | Match preview | News (Arsenal.com)

Following Champions League success in the week, our Gunners have a huge WSL clash against Manchester City.

Little, on the other hand, is more of a doubt for the fixture as the medical team continues to assess her injury. Our spectacular win in the Champions League on Wednesday did take a toll on our squad, as captain Kim Little was forced off after only ten minutes and Katie McCabe was substituted following a collision. As our opponents proved in the away leg, it will be no mean feat to keep them at bay. We travelled up to Manchester for a WSL meeting only a few days later and this time, City had the upper hand. Man City’s win over Chelsea last weekend had huge ramifications for a league table that has been in constant flux for months, as our game-in-hand over City and Manchester United looms. As we enter the final two months of the WSL 22/23 season, every goal, save and performance is vital to keep our title dreams alive.

Goals for Maanum and Stina Blackstenius on Wednesday will do a world of good for a team struggling to make the most of their chances. Frida Maanum, Lia Wälti and Kim Little have likewise been superb for Arsenal and are arguably the stronger trio, but it was Little who was injured against Bayern, leading to Williamson’s redeployment. The City backline excelled in the 2-0 defeat of Chelsea. Arsenal shared the best defensive record in the league with Manchester United before the leaders’ game away to Brighton on Saturday. If fixture congestion is to play a part in the outcome of the title, then City have the advantage.

If fixture congestion is to play a part in the outcome of the title, then City have the advantage. The big news is that Katie McCabe starts at left-back for Arsenal after being on crutches and in a protective boot on Wednesday night but her foot injury was only a bruise. They need a win to draw level on points with league leaders Manchester United, who won their match on Saturday 4-0 at Brighton. Arsenal are not exactly fresh from their Champions League victory over Bayern Munich, with Kim Little and Katie McCabe likely to be joining the long-term injury list. Gareth Taylor’s team play Arsenal on Sunday after the Gunners’ gruelling midweek defeat of Bayern Munich that earned their place in the semi-finals. Jonas Eidevall on Katie McCabe’s recovery and Kim Little’s injury: “Katie made a very quick recovery. And having the – let us say – combative Katie McCabe back is a bonus. Still, this is no occasion to worry about the weather. Of course, there are doubts about whether Blackstenius will actually score on any given occasion, but usually others will step up, and sometimes Foord or Maanum will have a stunner of a game. This is toughgoing for the home team. Charles Antaki writes in: “No Kim Little, and of course, no Miedema or Mead; enough to give any Arsenal fan the collywobbles. Maanum, scorer of such a great goal v Bayern, tries a shot but this one is way off, catching the wind to fly miles behind.

McCabe's inclusion in Vera Pauw's squad to take on the USA next month may have eased some fears, but the sight of McCabe smashing home a winner with the same foot many thought was injured is sure to delight many Irish and Arsenal fans alike. The Irish star was later seen wearing a protective boot on her left foot and using crutches as she celebrated with her team. McCabe's jubulation was a far cry from the scenes of just a few days ago when the Irish skipper had to be helped from the field late on in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

There were fears the Dubliner was set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after a recent injyry.

McCabe then settled it in fine fashion the 74th minute, taking a short corner and running into the box before firing a left-footed shot into the top corner of the net, giving Arsenal a win that moves them above City on goal difference, with both three points behind leaders Manchester United. City were made to pay for those misses when Arsenal drew level just after the hour, with Frida Maanum on hand to turn the ball in after a scramble in the box.

ARSENAL 2-1 MAN CITY: Man City needed to win to re-join neighbours Man Utd at the top of the WSL table - but were left stunned after two second-half goals ...

The result isn't fatal for Man City's ambitions, but it gives real hope to Arsenal that the league title could be coming to North London. Although this was another huge game in what is turning out to be the best title race in WSL history. There was a lot to like about this City performance, but ultimately they couldn't keep Arsenal out when the hosts really turned the screw. Jonas Eidevall's team also still have to play Chelsea before the season ends. But this didn't translate to success on the pitch. With Kim Little's hamstring injury from the Bayern win enough to keep her out of action today, will injury and suspension issues catch-up with the Gunners as we approach the home straight? When the Arsenal keeper then needed treatment just twenty minutes in, Eidevall's decision looked to have backfired. In addition to Shaw's early goal, Gareth Taylor's team took control of the contest from the off. But she showed her metal to get back on the pitch only four days later and produce a stunning goal that could prove a decisive moment in Arsenal's title challenge. Maanum later forced a superb save from Ellie Roebuck, but from the resulting corner McCabe drove home a stunning drive that gave the England keeper no chance. Arsenal looked leggy following their European exploits against Bayern Munich in midweek but did improve after the break and levelled through Maanum from close-range after good work from Stina Blackstenius. And the visitors were brighter throughout the opening 45 and would have had a greater lead at half-time had Lauren Hemp not missed a back-post sitter with the goal gaping.

Katie McCabe downs Manchester City to bolster Arsenal's WSL title ... (The Guardian)

Second-half goals from Frida Maanum and Katie McCabe gave Arsenal a 2-1 comeback win after Khadija Shaw had given their title rivals an early lead.

It was a performance that was symbolic of Arsenal’s gutsiness in the face of mounting games and a mounting injury list, added to when Caitlin Foord was forced off in the 36th minute. Stina Blackstenius rounded Steph Houghton and pinged the ball into a packed middle, City failed to clear and Frida Maanum turned in from close range. Gareth Taylor’s side had been served a healthy dollop of luck in their quest for a first title since 2016, with the visit of Chelsea and trip to Arsenal coming after gruelling Champions League tests for the London teams. “My foot wasn’t good on Wednesday, I have to say,” the Republic of Ireland captain said. He was sceptical, but better-than-anticipated scans and a large injection ensured that she would be ready for a critical game against Manchester City in what is shaping up to be a thrilling four-way title race. After she had come off injured in that Champions League clash, Jonas Eidevall said McCabe told him “straight away that she was going to play Sunday”.
