Arsenal Fight Back to Beat Leeds as Six English Starters End 27-Year Wait

Arsenal came from behind to beat Leeds 2-1 at the Emirates and move level with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. Leeds took the lead early in the second half through James Justin, but Riccardo Calafiori equalised from close range. Bruno Guimaraes then completed the turnaround in the 70th minute after a flowing Arsenal move. The match also marked Arsenal's first Premier League starting line-up with six English outfield players since February 1999. Ben White, Ezri Konsa, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke all started. The result was a response to Arsenal's 3-0 defeat to Brighton before the international break, while Leeds remained without a win over the Gunners since 2003.
