Leeds United has won a lot of respect in the FA Cup against Arsenal, which is being converted. The Championship club dominated the entire first half in the Emirates Stadium, but still lost 1-0.
The team of Marcelo Bielsa has been playing good football all season and showed that on foreign soil at Arsenal. Leeds was better, played aggressively, with guts and a lot of pressure to the fore and even got chances for a goal. However, there was no score.
That happened after the break, but by Arsenal. Reiss Nelson luckily got the ball right in front of the goal and finished. It didn’t happen automatically for the Arsenal players, who were not always in control of their frustration. Alexandre Lacazette kicked once and Sokratis Papastathopoulos also went too far. However, the VAR did not intervene.
The win over Leeds is a new success for Mikel Arteta, who won his first game for Arsenal last Wednesday against Manchester United.
