00:00So welcome inside Ellen Road where we are anticipating a white hot atmosphere as Daniel
00:06Farker's side gets set to welcome Premier League leaders Arsenal. Anxious Arsenal maybe who fear
00:12that what has gone before is going to come again. Leeds striving for survival knowing that those
00:18below them are starting to up their game. The first league title in 22 years, Arsenal's ultimate aim.
00:25Good afternoon to Lee Hendry who's alongside me here in this one Lee looks set up perfectly. Oh
00:31absolutely it really is I mean what a place this is anyway to come to Ellen Road and you know
00:37as you
00:38said how much lies on this game actually for for both sets of teams for both sets of fans actually
00:45as well you know you add to that Arsenal have to up their game at that stage of the season
00:50where
00:50everybody's looking at them the pressure's on them massively. Whose problems appear to be in
00:55their own heads at the moment or is it the kind of occasion the kind of environment the kind of
01:00test
01:01that they exactly need it's perfectly set up here this afternoon isn't it Lee? Oh it is in the sun
01:07shining
01:07I mean that just caps off what I think we are going to get served here at Ellen Road both
01:14sides will.
01:18and he's waiting in the middle once again it sails beyond him
01:28Oedon slides in and he timed it well to get there ahead of Jokeres shooting opportunity here flies
01:35over the top from Ethan Ampadu. How long that will actually be. He's currently on his longest run
01:42without a goal in all competitions in his career. Trosold clips it forwards looking for Jokeres who works
01:49it well to find Havertz he helps it on to find Zubimendi who doesn't catch it with any conviction.
01:56Gabriel in the middle there is plenty going on crowded six yard box as it comes in Darlow gets something
02:02on it
02:02and then Leeds scramble it as far as Declan Rice pushed out wide to find Madalweke.
02:08And Purdue's gone down in the box the game goes on Madalweke sends in the cross and Arsenal have the
02:13lead
02:14it's a goal which has been coming flicked in by Martin Zubimendi
02:20and it comes off the back of Arsenal's best period of the game. Leeds nil, Arsenal one.
02:26I mean you felt it was coming. Listen, Leeds have defended so gamely up to now.
02:34I'll tell you what, they just re-filter, re-ignite that attack.
02:39Declan Rice just pushing that ball out wide. This is the corner that was played in, they deal with it,
02:45it's very scrappy but there's Declan Rice sitting in that pocket. Ball out two, one in Madalweke,
02:52one to his left and the ball's sublime. It's all about who can get.
02:57See the movement in the box once again from back to front, the delivery is deep.
03:01Jokeres heads it back across goal, there was no one there to get a final touch to it.
03:09In comes the corner, Darlow tries to punch it away but it's found its way in.
03:15Kai Havertz wheels away and Arsenal strike from a corner once again.
03:25So many bodies in and around that front post.
03:31Looked an unfortunate moment, a moment to forget for Carl Darlow. Arsenal won't care,
03:36they lead by two goals to nil. No, but the delivery is brilliant from Madalweke, it's got to be dealt
03:41with. I mean there's not one Arsenal player near Darlow. Complete hit in this second period,
03:48it's almost been a classic away performance hasn't it from Arsenal so far this afternoon.
03:53Very little concern for them. Here's Goodmanson who looks to cross, he sends one in towards the front
03:58close cover. Lewin was looking to get on the end of it and just hoists one height. Lewin looks to
04:05get
04:05the better of Gabriel. Now Okafor, how much influence can he have on this game in his role as substitute.
04:14This comes in and it deflects behind and Leeds have another corner.
04:21Sent in by Stack, it's fricked towards goal. Comfortable save for David Wright who has had
04:29really clever defending from Gabriel. A hard one for Lewin to get control of,
04:36so anything that's above his head, just all about that physicality from Gabriel.
04:42Just guides it through. Jo Perez in behind here, can he make it three?
04:46World-time challenge comes in from Joe Rodon. Big opportunity that for all.
04:51Ready and that goal from Carl Darlow, just adding to it.
04:55And Madaweke sweeps it into the front post again, it's headed over the top by Timber.
05:01Two goal, just gives him a little bit of breathing space and now it's all about just weathering the storm.
05:07He's lifted towards goal and Raya just needs to backtrack there to bring that one in.
05:17Whipped in, the header high but not too far away.
05:21Hansen backing in, Marcel managed to scramble it to safety.
05:25And the wait for a title will come to an end and he just said it's because it's happened so
05:30recently
05:30and we've seen it time and time again.
05:33Rides the challenger, Pascal Stroud.
05:37Whips in, the cross is left and turned in.
05:41And Arsenal have got their third and it's Victor Jokeres.
05:46But again, it is a goal which looks so, so avoidable for Leeds United.
05:51But for Victor Jokeres, his wait for a goal is over.
05:55A third for Arsenal and surely now on course, without doubt, for all three points.
06:01You know what's brilliant about this goal is that Rotinelli makes a brilliant run.
06:06The outside of the blue pass from Nordegaard and then the whole defence is disrupted
06:13from a Leeds point of view.
06:15He's here, he's got strength, has to come out, engage.
06:19And then it's all about what delivery goes in the box and have a look at that foot.
06:24A beautiful set-up with what he's seen from his side here today.
06:30It's an afternoon which could get even better for them.
06:33Trossard, he looks to have a go at goal.
06:36Timber trying to get there, he clatters into Darlow.
06:39He has to be careful of course, he is on a yellow card.
06:43It's an incredible first time forward to release Declan Rice,
06:47who's on one of those surging runs now.
06:49He's still going, Declan Rice.
06:51For a moment he might just pull the trigger, he passes it off here as well.
06:54Rolls across goal and Martinelli just couldn't quite get on the end of it.
06:58On the edge of the box, helps it on to find Zubamendi,
07:02who got Arsenal up and running here this afternoon with that header in the first half.
07:06Now Timber whips it in, great delivery in, and Gabriel Jesus denied by Carl Darlow,
07:13who had to react so quickly, but they'll want him fit and firing for those.
07:27A chance for an Arsenal fourth here, manages to find some room and find a finish as well, Gabriel Jesus.
07:34That is a delightful goal, and Arsenal are cruising here.
07:41Why have they answered some questions here this afternoon?
07:46Leeds nil, Arsenal fourth.
07:48What an outstanding goal this is, outstanding goal from Gabriel Jesus,
07:54who has, since coming back into the Arsenal fourth, has looked bright, sharp, turned into for Arsenal here.
08:04Playing with real confidence, playing with a swagger, Jesus helps it on, Martinelli's got options,
08:11right and left, he tries to find Rice, it breaks for Martinelli again, gets away from Darlow.
08:18And Paduk, mischarges across to offer the option of a short corner,
08:26a couple of players away initially from the front post,
08:29will be sent in by Odegaard into the six-yard box again,
08:33Arsenal get the first contact as they so often do,
08:36but the header just loops over the top and just a few things boiling over now.
08:48An excellent performance for Arsenal here at Ellum Road this afternoon,
08:53Mikel Arteta's team cruising to a 4-0 victory.
08:58They've had the makings of a really tough assignment here this afternoon, but they went about the day with real
09:03purpose.
09:04We saw all the aspects of why Arsenal have had such a good season so far.
09:09Sent on their way, first half header from Martin Zubamendi.
09:1311 minutes later, an Arsenal corner proved too difficult to deal with for Carl Darlow, who pushed the ball into
09:20his own net.
09:21Leeds had a go at the start of the second half, but then Arsenal got a third through Victor Jokereza.
