Arsenal held off 10-man Leeds United to grab a 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Arsenal got off to a dream start when Eddie Nketiah netted twice within the opening 10 minutes, before Leeds went down to 10 men when captain Luke Ayling was shown a straight red following a VAR check just before the 30 minute mark.

But despite Mikel Arteta’s side dominating the entire match, Leeds pulled one back in the second half through Diego Llorente.

The result helps Arsenal keep a hold on the final Champions League spot, four points ahead of north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, while Leeds slip into the relegation zone after Everton beat Leicester 2-1.
