- Arsenal return to top with Leeds win
- Gunners' ninth win in ten league games
- First side to achieve that feat in 136-year history
WHAT HAPPENED? A solitary goal from in-form winger Bukayo Saka was enough to secure victory for the Gunners away at Leeds United. Mikel Arteta's side survived a number of scares - including a penalty miss from Patrick Bamford - to record their ninth win of the season and go back to the top of the Premier League table. No other side in Arsenal's entire 136-year history has managed that feat, which underlines just how far they have come since a disappointing fifth-place finish in 2021-22.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The result means Arsenal continue their fine start to 2022/23. The Gunners have been flawless aside from an away defeat to Manchester United, with Mikel Arteta looking to get them challenging for a first title since way back in 2003-04.
