Leeds United 0-1 Arsenal highlights: Press conference updates after late VAR drama
Effort levels
23' Rasmus Kristensen busting a gut to get back and tackle Martinelli who was breaking away. Top effort so far by the Dane.
Close to an opener
21’ Up the other end, Arsenal are almost in. Players queuing up at the back post as it’s dummied through to them. Falls to Jesus whose chip is up and over the bar
OFF THE LINE!
21’ Scramble inside the Arsenal box as Leeds try to prod it in. Struijk gets a toe to the ball, I think, but Ramsdale gets enough behind it.
Safe hand(s)
19' Odegaard's shot ricochets off Jesus but Arsenal retain the ball. It's swung to the back post by the Norwegian where Martinelli is lurking but Meslier gets a hand to it.
Early knockings, still
17' To their credit, #LUFC have been at it this half. Plenty winning their 1-v-1 battles out there at the moment. You can see when Arsenal get on the ball, though, they have bags of quality to pick difficult passes.
