Arsenal Fight Back to Beat Leeds and Revive Title Defence
Arsenal bounced back from their international-break disappointment with a hard-fought victory over Leeds United, reigniting their Premier League title defence.
The Gunners fell behind 10 minutes into the second half when James Justin fired home from Gabriel Gudmundsson’s pull-back, rewarding Leeds’ disciplined display.
However, Riccardo Calafiori restored parity from close range after Ben White’s setup, sparking Arsenal into life at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta’s triple substitution proved decisive, with summer signing Bruno Guimaraes completing the comeback eight minutes later with a composed finish from the edge of the box.
The victory ended Arsenal’s frustrating spell after their 3-0 defeat to Brighton and kept them within touching distance of league leaders Manchester City, who remain top on goal difference ahead of their trip to Liverpool.
