Bukayo Saka’s first-half goal was enough to give Arsenal a spirited victory against an eager Leeds side, marking the first time in the North London club’s history that they have won nine of their opening 10 games in a top-flight season. Saka opened the scoring for Arsenal against the run of play in the 35th minute when he latched onto Martin Odegaard’s through-ball to smash a shot over goalkeeper Illan Meslier’s head from a narrow-angle.

In a match that was suspended for 38 minutes shortly after kickoff due to a power cut at the stadium, Arsenal were under intense pressure from an energetic Leeds side who pressed hard for 90 minutes and never let the visitors settle down.

Leeds striker Patrick Bamford had the ball in the net within a minute into the second half as the home crowd erupted, but their joy was short-lived as the referee ruled the effort out for the Englishman’s foul on Arsenal centre back Gabriel.
Hosts had another opportunity when defender William Saliba handled the ball in the box, with the VAR asking referee Chris Kavanagh to take a second look before a penalty was awarded, but Bamford’s strike went wide to give Arsenal a huge let-off.
The home side were awarded another penalty when Kavanagh sent off Gabriel in added time for kicking out at Bamford but a VAR check revealed the striker had pushed the defender to the ground first and the referee reversed the decision.
Arsenal failed to produce anything of note in the second half but did enough to stop the waves of Leeds attacks, with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale making four saves and even one tackle in the game.
