Arsenal moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after beating Leeds United 4-0 at Elland Road.
Noni Madueke, a late replacement for Bukayo Saka, set up the first goal with a curling cross that allowed Martin Zubimendi to score.
Arsenal dominated the first half, winning several corners and throw-ins to keep pressure on Leeds’ defence.
From one of those corners, Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow punched the ball into his own net to give Arsenal a 2-0 lead.
Viktor Gyokeres scored the third after finishing Gabriel Martinelli’s cross, making the game comfortable for the visitors.
