Arsenal v Leeds result: Eddie Nketiah's early double seals victory over 10-man visitors

A huge victory for Arsenal as they inflict yet another defeat on relegation-threatened Leeds.

Break it all down in our in-depth match report.

It's not as half as comfortable as what it should have been but Arsenal have a precious three points in their quest for Champions League football next season. They're just one win away from securing a top-four spot.

Leeds, however, are in the bottom three for the first time this calendar year after Everton won at Leicester.

And as you'd expect, Meslier is coming up again.

Firpo delivers, Rodrigo meets it but Ramsdale makes the save.

And that could be that.

Still time for a late Leeds opportunity?

Arsenal clear the corner and Pepe races forward with Meslier still in the home side's half. Panic stations for Leeds but James comes to the rescue, making an important challenge before the Arsenal forward can get his shot away.

Llorente's pass is intercepted for a corner. And we know what happened the last time the visitors won a corner! Meslier is coming up for it...

He takes an age with the free-kick and it's certainly not worth the wait for Arsenal fans as Odegaard floats the ball straight into the arms of Meslier.

Smith Rowe is caught by Struijk and Arsenal have a free-kick in a dangerous area - another opportunity for the hosts to get on the scoreboard.

Arteta isn't going to take any chances with Martinelli. He's replaced by Smith Rowe in a straight swap on the left channel.

Chris Kavanagh waves away Arsenal's appeals for a spot-kick. Xhaka's cross strikes Koch's arm but the referee isn't interested.

Xhaka feeds Odegaard into the box, he creates the space for a shot but drags his effort just wide.

A third would kill the tension that has formed inside the Emirates.

Harrison drives the visitors forward on the counter attack, but his through ball to Rodrigo is intercepted.

The game has stopped to allow Martinelli to receive treatment for cramp.

You can feel it, there is anxiety amongst the home players and supporters. Leeds, on the other hand, have a new found confidence. Should they avoid defeat, they will remain above the drop zone.

Saka is replaced by Pepe. Mikel Arteta's side need to focus because it would be a disaster if they were to drop points today.

Oh, hello! Leeds have a goal out of absolutely nowhere! Game on!

A corner - their first of the game - is flicked on by Firpo to the far post and Llorente is left all alone to smash it home!

Just in case you're wondering, Everton are still leading 2-1 at Leicester. As it stands, Leeds will drop into the bottom three for the first time this calendar year.

Another chance for Martinelli goes begging! Cedric's cross is chested down by Xhaka, teeing up the Brazilian but he slices his effort well wide.

Martinelli almost gets the goal his performance deserves, but he just can't keep his shot down following good play from Xhaka.

Meanwhile, Raphinha's day to forget is over as he's replaced by Rodrigo.

His confidence has been knocked by that earlier mistake and Meslier gets away with one as he rushes out to try to punch clear a corner delivery but gets nothing on it. It takes a flick off a Leeds defender and Arsenal have to settle for another corner.
