Arsenal responded soon after with Calafiori finding himself unmarked to score.
A well-worked team goal by the Gunners, finished off by Bruno Guimaraes was enough for the reigning Champions to take all three points in front of their home crowd.

Leeds United really showed their quality in the game and were a real threat to Arsenal.
Bruno Guimaraes gave the away side a lot of credit as the Gunners fought hard to take all three points.
Ally McCoist, who was on TNT Sports, was surprised by how well Daniel Farke’s side played despite the defeat.
”It was a great game of football. Leeds were brilliant for one hour. Mikel Arteta made changes when he needed to and the substitutions gave Arsenal what they needed. That’s what champions do. Leeds can hold their heads high.”
This result is just the second time that the Whites have lost away from home in the Premier League since February.
