ARSENAL have beaten Leeds 4-1 in their Premier League clash at the Emirates.
Gabriel Jesus went down in the box before coolly dispatching the penalty to give the Gunners a deserved lead.
And Ben White made it 2-0 in the second half after some brilliant work from Gabriel Martinelli down the left. Jesus then made it 3-0 soon after with a tap-in.
Leeds then pulled one back but Granit Xhaka scored Arsenal’s fourth soon after.
