True Soc we were pretty sheight ... so bloody ponderous . The penalty seems to have relaxed the players the corsets have come off and we are flowing a bit .

Commentator just said Jesus has never lost a premier league game in which he has scored .

First Ødegaard then Martinelli have their boot stamped on.

Hopefully our performance so far is just a consequence of returning from the interlull in first gear and not due to pressure of the run in. If we can win and get Saliba and Saka next game back it would be huge. Leeds look very dangerous though

Ben White!!!!

Great work by Martinelli and Zinchenko on the left and a great run and tidy finish by White.

3-0! Lovely stuff

Chance to rest a few and put the foot down and make sure we improve our goal difference

The importance of that goal for Jesus after his injury can't be overstated.

Also that goal means Saka can stay on the bench

Jesus from great work by Trossard



Now I can relax and enjoy it

Ødegaard's turn was class.

Jesus coming off - Useless git.

Daylight Savings Time ends here soon. Clocks go back an hour.
Looks like I'll get to watch those 3 goals again. Sweet.

Maybe I'm being a bit too picky and not enjoying a good lead but Leeds had too many chances that would have been a goal were it City or Liverpool.

I'd like to see Kiwior get some minutes.

Still can’t keep that home clean sheet. Annoying

I don't think it follows. Leeds are no mugs, and we've tended to up our game against the top sides.

I saw it Rog.

£500 into my account in the next hour or I grass you up.

Or maybe not. 3-1

So much for a relaxing last 15 minutes.

Xhaka

Ødegaard joins an impressive list of Arsenal players (Özil, Fabregas, Bergkamp, Henry..etc) who have great vision for a final ball.

Lovely goal

Why didnt he give Emile Smith Rowe and Tierney more minutes?

9 cup finals to come

City game will be crucial. There’s going to be nothing in this and it will be excruciating. We’re all going to end up on medication

Great to see Jesus back on the scoresheet. Ordinary first half but much too good for them in the end.

9 to go

Huge for Jesus to get back amongst the goals. Great response to City winning earlier.

Huge game up next and a big selection dilemma for Arteta for who to leave out between Martinelli, Jesus, Saka and Trossard.

30 points clear of Liverpool
34 points clear of Chelsea

For me Trossard drops. Liverpool's defense is weak this season and Jesus' twinkle toes might be what we need .

Arsenal & Leeds.
FA Cup.
Highbury. 1983.

Obviously not like-for-like, but Arteta's signing of Trossard strikes me as similar to when George brought in Brian Marwood. Experienced and knowledgeable types who can handle pressure and add a most important dimension to a team.

I am also really impressed by the way we are winning games when City have played ahead of us.

Does mudryk even fit the system chelsea play. I don’t think so.

It’s a back 3 with wing backs. Surely he’s your guy to hug the touchline

I’m sure Arteta knew exactly what he wanted to do with Mudryk when we were in for him. Chelsea seem to not have the slightest idea.

Incredibly bad decision on his part to go to Chelsea.

If you only took Trossard’s time at Arsenal this season there are only 5 players with more assists all season and 2 of them play for arsenal

Special mention to Ramsdale again today, being ready and alert to push away that shot after 6 seconds and also making a few more saves when Leeds were making the better chances.
He’s been quite good in that respect recently - but is probably easily forgotten because we go on to win the games comfortably

100% agree. He’d play wide left, and be told to stick to the touchline at all times with the knowledge that the quality in how we work the ball we’d get him 1v1 against his full back and he can make that an isolated game to take on and beat him. No doubt he’d be doing far better with us than he is with that shambles

I’ve watched the penalty again. Jesus is brilliant, he destroys 2 defenders easily and no doubt he sees the opportunity to win a penalty and makes sure the way he does it means he will win it.

It’s a strange thing but he has that ability. Some other Arsenal players don’t have this yet. Plenty of City players have it.

Trossard and Jesus in the box, just brilliant- quick feet, intelligent, stop-start movements.

Amazing stat on MOTD - Liverpool have conceded the second highest big chances per game of any team in the league
