Arsenal vs Leeds United LIVE: All the action from Emirates Stadium (Football.London)

Solid half of football from Arsenal and with the goal difference between the Gunners and Spurs considerably sizeable, Mikel Arteta will not want his side to ...

Leeds try to clear but the ball falls to Cedric who fires over. Odegaard - 6 Xhaka - 6 Lacazette was clearly irritated by the actions of the Leeds United staff to try and influence the referee's decision. Cedric - 6 Xhaka tries to play in Nketiah who spins, but the ball is taken away from the striker. Should at least be testing the keeper there. Llorente's goal was Leeds' second touch in the Gunners' box. Arsenal writers Chris Wheatley, Kaya Kaynak and Tom Canton will be updating you throughout the day. This will be the first match since Mikel Arteta signed his latest contract extension. Leeds United have plenty to play for however with Jesse Marsch's side embroiled in a battle for survival. Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Wolves means that the Gunners can also go within just one point of third place.

Arsenal vs Leeds LIVE: Premier League result, final score and ... (The Independent)

The Gunners can move four points clear of rivals Spurs with a win in the race to finish in the Premier League's top four.

Newcastle United have taken only two points here in 16 previous visits, but can they throw a spanner in the works today? Dubravka never troubled in the visitors’ goal. Allan-Saint Maximin breaks free on the right-hand side after a swift counter-attack but his ball across towards Miguel Almiron is blocked. Bruno Guimaraes is looking to break forward whenever he picks up the ball in a central area. If the original header had not hit Guimaraes we’d be all level here. There is a tight scrap to avoid joining Watford and Norwich in being relegated.

Arsenal take on Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday looking to finish strongly in the Premier League and secure a top-four finish.

What Arsenal must rediscover against Leeds (Pain In The Arsenal)

Arsenal must rediscover their composure against Leeds with some worryingly sloppy football on show in the Premier League lately.

That is when Arsenal are at their strongest and, together with the quality they have, it will be enough to see them over the line in the Premier League. It may just be the pressure telling. In order to boost their chances of securing a result in this fixture Arsenal have to rediscover their composure.

Arsenal hold off 10-man Leeds United to boost Champions League chances (ESPN.co.uk)

Nketiah, who spent some time on loan at Leeds in 2019-2020, doubled Arsenal's lead on 10 minutes, diverting a Gabriel Martinelli cross into the goal to become the first Arsenal player to score twice within the opening 10 minutes of a Premier League ...

Things went from bad to worse for Leeds when Ayling was shown a straight red card for a reckless two-footed challenge on Martinelli after a VAR check upgraded the yellow originally shown by referee Chris Kavanagh. Nketiah, who spent some time on loan at Leeds in 2019-2020, doubled Arsenal's lead on 10 minutes, diverting a Gabriel Martinelli cross into the goal to become the first Arsenal player to score twice within the opening 10 minutes of a Premier League game for 20 years. 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.

Arsenal took a significant step towards securing their place in next season's Champions League with a nervy 2-1 win over 10-man Leeds.

10' - GOAL! ARSENAL 2-0 LEEDS (EDDIE NKETIAH): A double from Nketiah! Arsenal are running away with this! Everton have hit form at just the right time - they have now recorded back-to-back wins after their triumph at Leicester - and it appears to be a straight shootout with Burnley for survival. He registered an early assist and the only thing missing from a complete performance was grabbing a goal for himself. 5' - GOAL! ARSENAL 1-0 LEEDS (EDDIE NKETIAH): Arsenal lead! And while Arteta will not be pleased with his side's lacklustre second-half performance, he will be relieved his side have taken a significant step towards securing a Champions League place for the first time since 2016. Llorente was unmarked at the far post, and he made no mistake by smashing it past Aaron Ramsdale.

Everton, hoping to avoid playing in the second tier for the first time since 1954, are one point above the relegation zone with a game in hand. Fourth placed Arsenal are four points clear of fifth placed Tottenham, with three games left for both teams in the race to qualify for next season's Champions League via a top four finish. While second placed Manchester City waited for their chance to go three points clear of leaders Liverpool with a win against Newcastle later on Sunday, the focus in the day's early games was on the top four and the relegation battle.

Arsenal vs Leeds: Player ratings and analysis as Gunners set up ... (iNews)

Arsenal now know victory in Thursday's rearranged derby clash with Spurs will guarantee them a place in next season's Champions League.

Leeds host Chelsea and Brighton before concluding at Brentford. Burnley go to Tottenham and Aston Villa and then face Newcastle at Elland Road on the final day. We must wait until the fourth week of May for all this to play out, further disturbing the game’s body clock. The awful moment that followed was more a collective failure though Meslier will carry the burden in his soul. The warping of the seasons enforced by Covid continues next term with the advent of a December World Cup. And Arsene Wenger wants us to go every two years with the global pageant. Following Everton’s accelerating revival at the King Power it looks increasingly like a straight fight between Leeds and Burnley to stay up. Llorente had already hooked the ball off his own line earlier in the game but was now on hand to score with the visitors’ first shot of the game and set up a nervy finish.

Arsenal 2 - 1 Leeds - Match Report (Arsenal.com)

Nketiah scores a brace as we pick up three points at Emirates Stadium.

Leeds – throwing everything at the game now in their relegation fight – sent Meslier up for a late corner. We continued to dominate after the break. There was no little amount of relief when the final whistle went. We were starting to camp out in the Leeds half. The former Arsenal youth player went in two-footed on the Brazilian, and referee Chris Kavanagh’s initial booking was overturned after VAR intervention. Nketiah created the opening goal out of absolutely nothing.

football.london looks back on some of the moments you may have missed during the Gunners' Premier League victory over Leeds at the Emirates Stadium.

Gabriel also got himself unnecessarily booked for a late tackle on the halfway line, but the Brazilian was to turn peacemaker not long after. Diego Llorente was then able to pull one back for Leeds in the second as the Gunners conceded a corner for the first time this season, which set up a tense finish, but ultimately Arteta's side held on for the three points. Odegaard obliged and won the ball back to protect the Gunners from any chance of an unlikely Leeds comeback. The Hale Ender couldn't stop a smile from creeping across his face though as he fired Arsenal closer to the top four. Nketiah then doubled Arsenal's lead a few minutes later after some good work down the left wing from Gabriel Martinelli to find him in the middle. Mikel Arteta is clearly a man with very high standards.

He has two years remaining on his Arsenal contract, but the club may well be happy to cut their losses and let him leave this summer.

Arsenal star Eddie Nketiah 'too embarrassed to celebrate' after ... (Daily Express)

ARSENAL striker Eddie Nketiah benefited from some questionable goalkeeping by Illan Meslier.

Nketiah’s contract expires in the summer and he is understood to want more game time. Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp believes he offers the North Londoners a different skillset to Lacazette. The forward - who is yet to extend his contract beyond the summer - then scored again soon after. But he was quickly closed down by Nketiah and his touch was poor. Sky Sports commentator Rob Hawthorne believed the 22-year-old appeared sheepish in his celebration. Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah appeared 'too embarrassed' to celebrate his first goal against Leeds after capitalising on Illan Meslier's horrendous error.
