At the opening of the 6th day of the Premier League, Arsenal, second at kick-off, welcomed Leeds to the Emirates Stadium with the obligation to win to stay in contact with Manchester City, who will challenge Liverpool this Sunday. Organized in 4-2-3-1 with Havertz on the attacking front, the Gunners struggled at the start of the match. Despite a strike from Havertz (21st), the London club was jostled and logically hung on to the break. Returning from the locker room, Arsenal woke up and Ödegaard tried his luck but Trafford blocked (51st).
In the process, Daniel Farke’s men responded and even found the fault. After work from Gudmundsson on the left, Justin arrived launched and deceived Raya (0-1, 55th). Surprised, Arsenal was quick to react as Calafiori equalized straight away (1-1, 62nd). Relaunched, the locals even took the advantage eight minutes later thanks to Guimaraes (2-1, 70th) to offer themselves a sluggish but precious victory. In the ranking, Arsenal is back on par with Manchester City with 15 units. Leeds are 5th.
