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.
