Gabriel Martinelli scored Arsenal’s 7,000th top-flight goal, with the Gunners becoming only the third English side to reach that total since the Football League began in 1888, after Everton (7,139) and Liverpool (7,069).

Martinelli has scored his first Premier League brace in his 39th appearance in the competition, while he has as many goals in his last two league matches for Arsenal as he had in his previous 24 beforehand (3).

45+3 mins: A perfect 45 minutes for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. The young players are once again on the scoresheet as Gabriel Martinelli has bagged a brace with Bukayo Saka adding a third.

Leeds’ downfall has been one of their own making. They’ve made far too many mistakes in their own half and have been easily drawn out of positions by smart runs from Saka, Martinelli and Lacazette.

45 mins: There are going to be three minutes of added time to play. Leeds need a reset, they’ve conceded 10 goals in their last two outings and there’s still 45 minutes of this match to play.

42 mins: He’s been after one and Bukayo Saka gets his goal! Leeds are pushing too high up the pitch and Saka is played in behind on the right wing. He carries the ball into the box and moves away from Robin Koch. Lacazette gets the ball but can’t turn it towards goal. Saka continues his run across the box, picks up the ball off Lacazette then hits a left-footed effort at goal. There’s a deflection off Mateusz Klich that allows the ball to sneak underneath Meslier and give Arsenal complete control of this game.

41 mins: Xhaka is having a good game in the middle of the pitch for the Gunners. He’s been a commanding presence and has played some lovely passes through the lines up to the forward men. He does so here and sends Lacazette in behind Ayling. Arsenal’s captain knocks the ball back inside to Saka who fires one at goal but has his effort blocked by the combined forces of Dallas and Ayling.

38 mins: Illan Meslier has made at least three brilliant saves so far and Leeds are still two goals behind. The biggest problem for the home side is their lack of discipline on the ball. They’ve repeatedly been caught in possession or given the ball away with slack passes in their own half and Arsenal have punished them for it.

35 mins: Save! Leeds are all over the place. They lose the ball deep in their own half again and Saka is allowed to drive it into the box. He passes it across to Odegaard who squares it to Lacazette. He shoots from the left side of the box but Meslier is across quickly and keeps it out with a good body save!

32 mins: Worrying signs for Leeds. Jack Harrison limps off the pitch and is replaced with Crysencio Summerville. That’s not at all what Marcelo Bielsa needed right now.
