Bukayo Saka scored the winning goal for the second week in a row with Patrick Bamford missing a penalty as Arsenal beat Leeds 1-0
A thrilling match dominated by technology and controversy was settled by Bukayo Saka’s artistic winner. With VAR science also central to the drama, Leeds’s Patrick Bamford saw a goal disallowed and missed a penalty while Arsenal’s Gabriel had a late red card overturned following a clash with Bamford.
Arsenal swiftly had reason for relief when, straight from the resumption, Luis Sinisterra’s shot swerved inches wide of an upright. Presumably heeding this warning, Arteta’s side began to rediscover their familiar pass/move groove and Rasmus Kristensen made an important block to prevent Gabriel Martinelli connecting with a volleyed opening.
While Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale did well to palm another Sinisterra shot to safety before denying Pascal Struijk at point-blank range, Illan Meslier could not exactly rest easy. If Marsch’s French goalkeeper felt reprieved after Saka met Martin Ødegaard’s backheel and sent a two‑yard chip arcing over the bar, it proved a temporary stay of execution.
If that finish represented a definition of technical accomplishment, the slapdash cross‑field pass from Rodrigo that handed Arsenal possession was the epitome of carelessness from a forward who so often reads the game brilliantly.
