Martinelli double helps Arsenal beat Leeds
Martinelli double helps Arsenal beat Leeds
Two goals from Gabriel Martinelli helped Arsenal sweep past an injury-hit Leeds at Elland Road to secure
their third successive Premier League victory.
Martinelli’s double and Bukayo Saka’s deflected effort made it 3-0 before half-time as the Gunners ruthlessly capitalised on
an error-strewn Leeds performance.
Raphinha pulled one back from the penalty spot in the second half, before Arsenal substitute Emile Smith Rowe
wrapped up an emphatic victory for Mikel Arteta’s side late on.
On Christmas Day last year Arsenal were 15th in Premier League and only four points above relegation zone.
Twelve months on and they are guaranteed to be in the top four on 25 December for the first time in five years.
