Arsenal run riot at Leeds to extend their lead at the summit to seven points

Arsenal claimed a comfortable 4-0 victory over Leeds United in the Premier League at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.

Ethan Ampadu was presented with the game’s first real chance, but his strike from 25 yards out flew well over the bar.

At the other end, Martin Zubimendi tried his luck from range, but his effort was comfortably collected by Karl Darlow.

Moments later, the Spanish midfielder gave the Gunners the lead after he met Noni Madueke’s delightful cross with a glancing header.

In the 37th minute, Viktor Gyokeres almost doubled the visitors’ advantage after meeting a corner at the back post, but he couldn’t direct his header goalwards.

However, a minute later, Arsenal doubled their lead after Madueke played in an inswinger cross from a corner with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Darlow making a mess of it, and the goalkeeper put the ball into his own net.

Five minutes after the restart, Pascal Struijk could’ve pulled one back for the host, but his header from Anton Stach’s corner was comfortably gathered by David Raya.

At the other end, Jurriën Timber squandered a glorious opportunity to increase the deficit after he met Madueke’s corner, but he sent his effort over the bar.

Moments later, Gyokeres got Arsenal’s third goal after Gabriel Martinelli drilled in a low cross into the area and the Swede tapped home a simple finish.

In the 86th minute, Gabriel Jesus completed the scoring for the Gunners after he picked out the bottom corner from a sharp turn in the area.

Arsenal are now seven points clear at the Premier League summit, with Manchester City and Aston Villa playing tomorrow.
