Within the framework of Round 2 of the EPL, Arsenal hosted Leeds on its home ground. The Londoners, without letting go of the initiative in this clash, defeated the opponent by a large score with masterful play and high efficiency.
In this match the hosts secured a confident 5:0 victory. The goals were authored by Timber (brace), Saka and Gyokeresh (brace). Before each goal, pressure in the center, entries from the flank and accuracy in the final passes showed themselves.
It should be noted that Viktor Gyokeresh scored his debut goal of the season. The Swedish forward, in the Round 1 match against Manchester United, had not been able to carry out any effective action, whereas this time, by making good use of a precisely worked episode at the start of the half and a penalty in the last minutes, he enlarged the score.
After this result the Londoners, with 6 points, moved up to 1st place in the online standings. Leeds, meanwhile, having collected 3 points, occupied 11th position. That is, according to the outcome of the second round, Arsenal’s starting impulse was maintained, while the visitors are forced to analyze mistakes in the next games.
