Gabriel Jesus Scores As Arsenal Beat Leeds 4-1

Goals from Gabriel Jesus, Ben White, and Granit Xhaka secured a win for Arsenal as they beat Leeds 4-1 in a Premier League game on Saturday to restore an eight-point lead at the top.

Leeds had created the better opportunities in the opening half-hour of the contest, with Rasmus Kristensen, Crysencio Summerville, and Jack Harrison all testing home keeper Aaron Ramsdale.

But they fell further behind two minutes into the second half when Ben White converted Gabriel Martinelli’s low cross via the underside of the crossbar.

Arsenal dominated from that moment on and Jesus – recalled to the side in place of Bukayo Saka – made it 3-0 with a clinical first-time finish from Leandro Trossard’s drilled cross.

Rasmus Kristensen’s pulled a goal back for Leeds via a heavy deflection off Oleksandr Zinchenko, but Granit Xhaka’s late header from Martin Odegaard’s delivery completed the scoring with six minutes remaining.

The defeat leaves Javi Gracia’s team hovering a point above the relegation zone with 10 games of the campaign left to play.
