Resilient Arsenal storm the weather, stay firm on EPL log
Bukayo Saka continued his fine form to keep Arsenal on top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win at Leeds – but the visitors were lucky to escape with victory as Patrick Bamford missed a second-half penalty.
In a bizarre start to the game, a power cut after 60 seconds forced a 40-minute suspension – but no spark was lost in a thrilling Elland Road encounte
In an even first half where Leeds went toe-to-toe with the league leaders, Saka took advantage of Rodrigo’s needless crossfield ball to crash the Gunners into the lead with an emphatic finish.
Leeds replaced Rodrigo with Bamford at half-time – who changed the flow of the game. First, the striker saw a close-range finish controversially ruled out for offside for a push on Gabriel – before putting his spot kick wide after William Saliba handballe
VAR struck again in stoppage time as Arsenal conceded a penalty and Gabriel was sent off for violent conduct on Bamford, but referee Chris Kavanagh was sent to the monitor and eventually gave a foul in the opposite direction.
