Arsenal 2-1 Leeds: Riccardo Calafiori and Bruno Guimaraes on target as champions fight back to go level with Man City Report and free match highlights as Arsenal came from behind to beat Leeds 2-1; James Justin gave the Whites a deserved lead as Daniel Farke's side dominated the opening hour; Riccardo Calafiori levelled seven minutes later, before Bruno Guimaraes came off the bench to snatch the winner Saturday 10 October 2026 14:39, UK Arsenal scored two goals in eight minutes to come from behind and get back to winning ways via a 2-1 comeback win over Daniel Farke's stubborn Leeds. After their 3-0 loss to Brighton before the international break, a blip threatened to become a bigger issue as Leeds not only were the better team for the best part of an hour at the Emirates - but they took the lead through James Justin's strike 10 minutes after half-time. It was the least Leeds deserved. David Raya made four saves to deny the Whites before the opener - and with Farke's side holding the joint-best defensive record coming into the game, Arsenal were in trouble. - As it happened | Teams | Stats - Live Premier League table | Watch FREE PL highlights - Got Sky?

The England international, given a chance by Thomas Tuchel during the latest England camp, failed to keep out Riccardo Calafiori's effort from inside the box seven minutes after Leeds' opener. Mikel Arteta, perhaps unimpressed by his side's performance so far, was unmoved on the touchline - and backed up the leveller with a triple substitution he was planning to make anyway. One of those changes was Bruno Guimaraes, who completed the comeback five minutes later. Martin Odegaard's ball forward was brilliantly flicked by Declan Rice into the path of the Brazilian on the edge of the box and he crashed the ball into the bottom corner. Eventually, it rounded off a good week for Arteta, who earlier signed a new deal until 2030. He made the brave call to play Noni Madueke at left wing to replace the injured Christos Tzolis - and he was Arsenal's best player and was crucial in Calafiori's equaliser - then made the super sub change for Guimaraes.

Leeds, meanwhile, are beaten for the first time in the Premier League this season. More to follow...The key moments from the Emirates... 8: CLOSE!
