Arsenal v Leeds: How the players rated

David Raya: A smart save to stop Jayden Bogle, then an even better one to deny Gudmundsson shortly after. The cross for the Leeds goal, however, eluded him. 6

Ben Blanc: His header allowed Calafiori to equalize. Caught offside on several occasions as Arsenal built good attacks in the first half. Leeds’ goal fell to their side. 6

Ezri Konsa: Involved in the physical battle against Calvert-Lewin. 6

Gabriel Magalhaes: It wasn’t the usual convincing performance from Arsenal’s back four or Gabriel. 6

Riccardo Calafiori: Scored the equalizer after Arsenal had gone behind. He tried to shake things up with his adventurous runs, but Arsenal’s attack didn’t click. 7

Declan Rice: I tried to inject some energy into Arsenal as they struggled to create in the first half. A clever assist for the winner Bruno Guimaraes. 7

Myles Lewis-Skelly: Returning to Arsenal’s starting XI after being replaced by Bruno Guimaraes. It’s not his best day. 6

Martin Odegaard: I tried to win the ball back to make something happen and a tame effort was saved by Trafford. 6

Bukayo Saka: The winger caused Gudmundsson some problems early on, but never took advantage of the opportunities. I missed a big late opportunity to add a third. 6

Noni Madueke: Having the possibility of starting on the left wing in place of the injured Christos Tzolis. Some good deliveries but not enough threat throughout the match. 6

Kai Havertz: Included from the start after injuring his hamstring on international duty. I didn’t watch the full match sharpness. 6

Viktor Gyokeres (at 63, Havertz): I brought physicality to the attack. 6

Bruno Guimaraes (at 63, Lewis-Skelly): He came in, changed the game and scored the winner. 8

Jurrien Timber (on 63, White): A calming presence in the backline. 7

Piero Hincapie (82, Calafiori): Brought to see victory. 6

Merino (out of 90, Odegaard): No time to impact. 5

Unused subs: Arrizabalaga, Zubimendi, Eze, Dowman.
