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.

Ian Wright has praised Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah on Twitter for scoring twice against Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

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 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.

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.

The Gunners want to bolster their midfield options as they return to European competition next season and the Belgian has emerged as a prime summer target.

Any result today would take Leeds above Burnley who are also on 34 points, though the Clarets have played a game more and suffered a setback on Saturday after a heavy defeat to Aston Villa.

While Leeds continue to flirt with danger despite an improvement in form since Jesse Marsh took over at Elland Road. The Whites are two points clear of Everton, who sit 18th, but the Toffees have a game in hand.

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.

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.

The Gunners beat Leeds United 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, less than 24 hours after Spurs had been held to a 1-1 draw at Liverpool. Those results ...

So this year if Arsenal win at Spurs on Thursday then May 12 will be St Totteringham's Day 2022. To honor this domination over their neighbors, Arsenal fans used to celebrate St Totteringham's Day each year once they had mathematically guaranteed that they would finish above Spurs. Arsenal's Win Over Leeds Means May 12 Could Be First St Totteringham's Day In Six Years

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.

Arsenal took command of the race for Champions League qualification with rivals Tottenham Hotspur and yet somehow left their fans still fearing they could ...

"Not right now [I'm not thinking about other sides] I think there's still too many games left," the Leeds manager said. Raphinha, boy do Leeds needs shift from him now, gets on the ball, cuts in and delivers a good cross to the back post. Anyway, the point I'm try to make is that with Wenger at the helm, even in those later years, Arsenal were more successful than they are now and one of the consequences of that was winning titles and getting under the skin of your big rivals, back then Manchester United, who also used to win stuff... This is going from bad to worse for the visitors. This match is over as a contest and it's a case of guess the final score. To make matters worse, Everton are 2-1 up at Leicester sending Jesse Marsch's men, for now, into the bottom three. One thing Arsenal may be thinking about is goal difference - Spurs currently enjoy an advantage of five over their north London rivals. Cedric delivers a great cross from the right, Xhaka knocks it down in the box and Martinelli volleys just wide. If it was still 2-0 you'd suggested this match was meandering to the ref's final whistle. The Leeds right back jumped into an attempted tackle on Martinelli near the touchline with both studs showing. Arsenal’s advantage should have been five or six goals and yet it was reduced to just one in the 66th minute, when the home side were caught out by a clever corner routine. The tone was set in just the sixth minute, when Ayling sent a pass back to Illan Meslier that the goalkeeper should have dealt with comfortably.

He has two years remaining on his Arsenal contract, but the club may well be happy to cut their losses and let him leave this summer. He has been strongly linked with a move away from the north London club in the upcoming transfer window. Pepe was brought on by Arteta in the 68th minute to replace Bukayo Saka on the right wing.

‘It’s a great atmosphere throughout the whole season, it’s been excellent. I’m just happy in the team and helping. Meanwhile, a clinical finish inside the box saw him score a second.

Worked hard for his first goal, but the second was a nice finish with his wrong foot. Leeds left-back Junior Firpo will be glad to see the back of him. Had plenty of time to play out from the back once Leeds went down to 10 men. A solid game from the Swiss midfielder. Handed another start in the absence of the injured Ben White and did well again. He just kept things nice and tidy in midfield, winning possession back and laying off simple passes.

Mikel Arteta says the Arsenal coaching staff were perplexed by Nicolas Pepe spurning an open goal and are hopeful on Ben White's fitness.

We cannot do things thinking about the next game. ‘We believed that it was the right thing to do today with what we wanted to do down that side, and especially what Leeds had on that side.’ And fortunately we didn’t need that goal.’

Arsenal 2-1 Leeds: Luke Ayling's red card appeared to end the Whites' hopes before Diego Llorente's second-half strike gave the Gunners a scare.

It was all too easy, and Ayling’s mindless challenge with Martinelli trapped in the corner – upgraded to a red card after a VAR check – seemed sure to be the nail in the coffin. The word seamless doesn’t seem to exist in Arsenal’s dictionary, though, and they were punished for failing to extend their lead either side of half time, with Martinelli always threatening but lacking an incisive finish. Their ragged start was only made more concerning by the grave stakes at hand, with a recently resurgent Everton kicking off simultaneously against Leicester, and their 2-1 victory now leaves Leeds in the bottom three, below Burnley courtesy of an inferior goal difference. Old habits die hard but it is becoming a theme of Arteta's side that they can – just about – stave off the disasters of their own making, and they now take what, on this evidence, may well be a vital margin for error into Thursday’s crucial north London derby. But being Arsenal, a four-point lead over Tottenham in the top-four race needed to be wrestled into reality after it had been gifted to them. After Tottenham dropped points against Liverpool yesterday, there ought to have been a degree of pressure on Mikel Arteta’s side, one that in the past they’ve struggled at times to shoulder.

"Credit to my team-mates for helping me play and do well. “He has the right environment. “We know how big that game is going to be and how decisive that game is going to be,” said Arteta. “We plan the game as always and go there to win.”

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.

Gary Neville is backing Spurs to beat Arsenal and feels the derby will be extra-spicy after the Gunners' controversial postponement.

Praising Tottenham’s display against Liverpool, Neville continued: ‘Tottenham had to withstand a lot of pressure defensively, they did well defensively, but Harry Kane and Son Heung-min – that ground to counter-attack on is the toughest to counter-attack on. Conte can do that as a coach, he has it in him that sort of warrior mentality.’ ‘So there will be a little bit of needle, there is anyway so we don’t need to talk that up.

The Ivory Coast international then tried to cut back onto his stronger left foot rather than hit the ball with his right foot on the halfway line allowing Daniel James to make a tackle. And the forward infuriated Stuivenberg in the final minutes as Arsenal sat back to protect protecting their lead.

The 22-year-old academy graduate has now plundered four goals in four games since he was thrust into the team by Arteta last month. The Gunners failed to replace club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January, while Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are both due to be free agents at the end of the current campaign.

Arteta, with his new contract signed, will be backed in the transfer market and is looking for firepower to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and out-of-contract Alexandre Lacazette. With City traditionally reluctant to let players in their prime run down deals, his future is likely to be decided when the campaign is finished. Mikel Arteta, who signed a new deal at the Emirates last week, will look to bolster his squad with attacking options when the window opens and Sterling, who he worked well with at City, will come under strong consideration.
