Arsenal came back from a goal down to beat Leeds United 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, with Brazilian Bruno Guimaraes coming off the bench to net the winner as the Premier League resumed following a lengthy international break.
Arsenal endured a frustrating first half in which it struggled to create chances, and it fell behind 10 minutes after the break when James Justin slammed home a clever pull-back from Gabriel Gudmundsson.
Riccardo Calafiori levelled for Arsenal seven minutes later, the Italian jumping to steer home Ben White’s knock-down, and Guimaraes grabbed the winner for the home side with a brilliantly worked goal in the 70th minute, sending a low shot into the far corner from the edge of the box.
Champion Arsenal climbed to second in the table on 15 points, behind Manchester City on goal difference. Leeds is fifth on nine points.
