David Raya received a 7 for his saves and distribution, while Ben White got a 6 despite some offside issues and lack of sharpness. Ezri Konsa earned an 8 for his dominant performance despite being injury-doubt, standing up to Calvert-Lewin physically and maintaining composure in possession. Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal’s wildcard at left-back, scored the equalizing goal and received an 8 for his attacking contributions.

Story summary
On September 10, Arsenal faced Leeds in a Premier League match after Arsenal's unexpected loss to Brighton, ending their unbeaten start to the season. Despite initial doubts about players Kai Havertz and Ezri Konsa due to injuries sustained during international duty, the game saw Arsenal trailing early when James Justin scored for Leeds. However, Arsenal rallied back with goals from Riccardo Calafiori and a substitute appearance by Bruno Guimaraes, securing a 2-1 comeback victory. The win demonstrated Arsenal's resilience under manager Mikel Arteta, who recently signed a new contract, confirming that their loss to Brighton was likely an anomaly rather than a trend. Ezri Konsa played a dominant defensive role despite being injury-prone and earned high praise from the analysts.

Galloped forward and created opportunities for Madueke and Saka, and then of course it was him poaching in the six-yard box to equalise.

However, it was a brilliant flicked assist for Guimaraes’ goal as his legs seemingly returned in the final 30 minutes.
asserted
legs → flick → minutes
Myles Lewis-Skelly 6
Completed 94% of his passes but that didn’t feel like a positive - too often it was too safe.
asserted
it → complete → positive
Used his body well as ever and drew fouls, but his influence was limited.
asserted
influence → use → fouls
