Gyokeres nets a brace as Arsenal dominate Leeds

Ahead of the match, Arsenal announced a blockbuster signing worth £67.5 million – Eberechi Eze – sparking huge excitement. The good news was doubled when Manchester City unexpectedly lost to Tottenham at home. A comprehensive win against Leeds would allow Arsenal to climb to the top of the Premier League table.

In this game, Coach Arteta surprised many by starting Madueke, leaving Martinelli on the bench. Although eager to score on his debut, newcomer Gyokeres missed a golden opportunity in the 16th minute when he faced an open goal.

Before the forwards could open their account, Arsenal’s defense unexpectedly shone. In the 34th minute, from a left-side corner, Timber delivered a precise header to open the scoring, replicating his goal from the opening match against Manchester United. Then in stoppage time of the first half, Timber provided a clever through ball to Saka, who calmly finished to make it 2-0.
