Arsenal vs Leeds LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates as Leeds score after Gabriel Jesus brace
Follow all the action from Emirates Stadium
Arsenal are looking to respond after Manchester City defeated Liverpool in Saturday’s early kick off to pile the pressure on the Premier League leaders.
Mikel Arteta’s men have had their lead cut to five points but can restore it back to eight if they defeat Javi Gracia’s Leeds United at the Emirates stadium this afternoon. Illness has kept Arsenal’s star man, Bukayo Saka, on the bench but he could play a part later in the game if the Gunners require his services but with big matches on the horizon, Saka may sit this one out.
Leeds meanwhile are hoping to propel themselves further up the table. In a close and tense relegation battle - featuring all the teams from 20th up to 12th - any points that Leeds can take away from London today will be a big boost to their chances of survival.

Arsenal regain their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League after thrashing Leeds United. The away side had chances through Summerville and Harrison with the game goalless, but Ramsdale was there to deny the pair with simple stops. Gaining momentum, it was the Gunners who scored against the run of play. After being fouled in the box by Ayling, Jesus took responsibility from the penalty spot and slotted his effort down the middle. Just a minute after the restart, the home side doubled their lead through White, with the defender getting on the end of Martinelli’s cross and powering in his effort from close range. Jesus then poked in Trossard's pass across the box to make it 3-0, before Kristensen denied Arsenal a clean sheet with a deflected strike. However, Arteta's side regained their advantage when Xhaka found the back of the net with a header.
