## How the goals went in

- **0-1, Justin (Leeds):** Leeds, arguably the better side in the first half, broke through after the break when Justin finished a low ball from Gabriel Gudmundsson, [101 Great Goals reported](https://www.101greatgoals.com/match-reports/arsenal-2-1-leeds-report-result-goals/).
- **1-1, Calafiori (Arsenal), 62':** Noni Madueke crossed to the back post, Ben White headed it back across and Calafiori volleyed in from close range, his first goal of the season.
- **2-1, Guimaraes (Arsenal), 70':** Mikel Arteta had brought on Guimaraes, Jurrien Timber and Viktor Gyokeres in one triple change, for Myles Lewis-Skelly, White and Kai Havertz. Five minutes or so later Guimaraes finished a move through Madueke, Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice.

Arteta chose to push forward rather than settle for a draw, and it worked. Leeds replied with Brenden Aaronson and Harry Wilson for Ao Tanaka and Noah Okafor on 71 minutes, but Arsenal saw it out; an Odegaard chance late on was deflected into the arms of James Trafford.
