Arsenal secure comeback win against Leeds, level on points with Man City

Arsenal came from behind to beat Leeds 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium, moving level on points with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.

  • Arsenal scored twice in eight second-half minutes to secure the win.
  • Riccardo Calafiori equalised in the 62nd minute, followed by Bruno Guimaraes' decisive goal six minutes after coming off the bench.
  • The victory puts Arsenal's championship defence back on course, trailing Manchester City only on goal difference.

Arsenal staged a dramatic comeback at the Emirates Stadium, scoring two goals in eight second-half minutes to defeat Leeds 2-1. This victory sees Mikel Arteta's side draw level on points with Manchester City at the Premier League summit.

The champions found themselves trailing after James Justin put Leeds ahead in the 55th minute. However, Riccardo Calafiori brought Arsenal level in the 62nd minute, converting Ben White’s header. Substitute Bruno Guimaraes then struck the decisive blow just six minutes after entering the game, marking his second goal for Arsenal since his £75m move from Newcastle.

Despite being described as below their best against an unbeaten Leeds side, Arsenal's revival puts their championship defence back on track. The result places the onus on Manchester City, who are set to play their first match since being found guilty of financial breaches, against Liverpool on Sunday.

Why this matters: The win puts Arsenal's championship defence back on course and intensifies the Premier League title race.
