Good cross from Xhaka on the left and the forward heads over. 7': Leeds may be struggling at the bottom end of the league but they are threatening going forward. It's only as far as Jesus, though, who shoots first time from distance, and Ayling has to clear off the line. There are some tough fixtures to come, but today doesn't look like one of them. So here are some pictures from the opening 20 minutes or so. Summerville breaks and tries to do it all himself, but Arsenal get back well. It's a really good link-up with Trossard from the Brazilian. We're in the final stretch of the season and the Gunners may have a chance to extend their lead at the top of the table depending on what happens at the Etihad in the next hour or so. 24': Leeds break and it's Aaronson who does well and cuts in from the left for a blocked effort. Really good from Leeds who come again on the left, but the effort fails to find the target. Well it's not been a classic but Arsenal are on course to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League back to eight points. Zinchenko is sprinting to get back but it's him who the ball comes off as Kristensen shoots on the half-volley from the edge of the box.

Little stutter in the run up sends Meslier the wrong way. Atmosphere has totally changed here and Arsenal are on the charge for a second. Arsenal counter and Meslier does well to sweep to stop Odegaard from getting in. Robin Koch booked for a tackle on Gabriel Martinelli just when the Brazil forward looked to be in. Arsenal ahead but far from their best. At Elland Road, the Gunners were treated to one of their toughest challenges of the campaign and only just escaped with all three points.

William Saliba's absence from the back line represents a serious worry for Arsenal as the Premier League title race enters the final furlongs.

William Saliba has been immense in Arsenal's title charge and sparks more attacks than any other defender in the Premier League with his ball-winning skills... But to pigeonhole Saliba as some kind of brutish tackler is completely wrong. Both of those are league-bests. The main worry for Arteta is one of continuity. 'I don't want robots. 'They are a happy marriage.

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.

Jesus' double and goals from Granit Xhaka and Ben White ensured Arsenal scored four goals at home for the third time in their last four league games.

Yet White emerged as hoped to score his second league goal in four games, and that familiar comfort began to unfurl across the Emirates. Most fans were still finishing their half-time Prime drinks when the electric Martinelli sashayed past Ayling and found White across the face of goal. For a frenetic first 30 minutes they came close to April Fool’s Day, but [Mikel Arteta’s](https://inews.co.uk/topic/mikel-arteta?ico=in-line_link) 11 disciples were redeemed by the return of Jesus. He waited for Illan Meslier to dive, which the Frenchman dutifully did, and the ex-Man City forward ensured his current side would keep pace with his former employers. Coming just after excellent chances for Crysencio Summerville and Jack Harrison, Xhaka found the Brazilian on the left-hand side of the penalty area. Whites fans may argue that Luke Ayling’s clumsy challenge to fell a shimmying Jesus on the half-hour mark is typical of their season.

It is the most luxurious luxury to have and not entirely surprising at the same time when you consider how near-perfect City have been in the transfer market in recent time – Haaland will start when he is fit, and likely score a hat-trick. When he isn’t in the team, the aesthetics of the football on show go up a notch still. Just don’t expect him to say as such. Nonetheless, there would have been no tears in the City dressing room from Guardiola pre-match when the Norwegian told his manager personally he wasn’t fit to play. Instead, what transpired was the perfect afternoon for the madcap Catalan – thrashing a rival, his way. Pontus Jansson gave the Bees an early lead, before Kaoru Mitoma equalised on 21 minutes.

Today may have been a good time to give Saka a full rest following the international break given how many minutes he has played this term.

Further victories over Barnsley, Derby and Everton secured the club’s first title of the Premier League era. But what about the period that Sir Alex Ferguson unforgettably described as ‘squeaky bum time’; when the pressure really ramps up in the run-in? Arsenal are top of the Premier League in April for the first time since they moved away from Highbury. City had ramped up the pressure by beating Liverpool 4-1 earlier in the afternoon, but Arsenal kept their focus to register a seventh successive league win. Arsene Wenger’s side eventually trudged to an underwhelming third-place finish that year. Their title charge was already starting to falter after an infamously

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.

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.

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.

Let’s push it every day and see how he copes with that and how the pain develops as well. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta confirmed the reason why Bukayo Saka was dropped to the bench for Saturday's Premier League clash with Leeds United.

"We won two doubles, we won FA Cups and the way he brought football to the Premier League was brilliant. But then he started to implement his ways in football and it totally changed it for good. I had some bad times as well but that’s all part of being a goalkeeper. He took charge of 1235 matches at Arsenal, winning 707 of them before retiring in 2018. Seaman struggled with injuries, and after 26 appearances, he hung up his boots at the age of 40 in January 2004. However, what followed was a tactical genius stamping his authority on the Arsenal squad as they turned into one of the Premier League's greatest-ever teams. He totally deserves to be in the Hall of Fame." After Graham was sacked, the Gunners had four different managers before Wenger arrived from Nagoya Grampus in 1996.

It was part of the context of the game and we used it in the right way. It was an issue that we had with some of the international players and players we had here but it happens. The crowd transmits energy and belief and love to the players and unconditional support. They need to feel that confidence, and the players have to prepare in the right way when they have the chance, like Rob did, and to actually perform. We have players now who need a little bit of space and freedom and those interactions I think contribute to the team and make the opponent more conscious and worried about those rotations. He’s really contributing to the team and he really takes a lot of responsibility in games to make things happen and we love that. Even on set pieces, he’s improved a lot to be more dangerous and to drive more attention to the opponent. We are really pleased with him, he can play on the right, he can play on the left, he can play as an attacking midfielder, as a nine, a false nine. He had some issues as well in the last few days but he’s a big fighter and he wanted to be here. We improved that a lot, we exploited all of the spaces and we changed a little bit the shape and position of a few players, and we were more fluid attacking in the final third very close to the box with good numbers and good positions. Obviously the way that they set up, they were really man-marking our attacking midfielders and they played with four really fast players to cut us in transition. Today he deserved the chance to start and he grabbed the opportunity with a lot of conviction and scoring two very important goals.

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.

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.

LONDON, April 2 (Reuters) - Katie McCabe scored the winner with a powerful strike as Arsenal came from a goal down at home to beat Manchester City 2-1 but Chelsea rose above them to second spot in the Women's Super League later on Sunday after a 3-0 win over Aston Villa.

Arsenal climbed to second place in the Women's Super League table with a 2-1 comeback victory against top four rivals Manchester City on Sunday.

A goal to the good, City could have stretched their advantage against a tired-looking Arsenal team who were in midweek Champions League action. Shaw's 16th league goal of the season saw City open the scoring within five minutes at Meadow Park.
