Leeds United (4-2-3-1)
1 Illan Meslier
It may have been a superb finish from Bukayo Saka, but there are always going to be questions when a goalkeeper is beaten from a tight angle like that. 6
25 Rasmus Kristensen
Did a very good job at keeping Gabriel Martinelli quiet throughout the entire match. Very few doubts about his place in the starting line-up now. 7
5 Robin Koch
Gabriel Jesus was virtually marked out of the game by the centre-backs. Visiting attacking threat vanished in the second half. 7

6 Liam Cooper (c)
As with Koch, barely put a foot wrong and kept the Brazilian striker quiet throughout the day. 7
21 Pascal Struijk
One of the worst hospital passes you will see from Rodrigo before the opening goal, but other than that, this was an excellent performance from the Dutchman, who gave one of the league's best forwards nothing. 7
12 Tyler Adams
Another outstanding performance in the middle of the park. Provided the team with the platform for so many of their turnovers and attacks on Arsenal. A fighter. 8
8 Marc Roca
Matched his midfield team-mate throughout the game with physicality and helped bring that foundation for a very good Leeds display. Passes under pressure were important. 8
7 Brenden Aaronson
One of those excellent livewire performances in attack from the American. Really well suited to playing the teams who take risks at the back. Carried the ball well, drew fouls and pounced on errors. 7
11 Jack Harrison
Couldn't find the same threat as his attacking colleagues. Again guilty of overthinking and delaying when instinct was needed around the Arsenal box. 5
23 Luis Sinisterra
An immediate reminder of why he was missed last weekend. Always seem to be in the right place and always had the quality needed with a first touch or pass to keep fans on the edge of their seats. 7
19 Rodrigo
What started out as a promising display turned into one of the worst errors of the season with a bizarre, pitch-wide cross from right to left, backwards into Struijk, which ultimately put the Leeds goal in harm's way. Confidence was shattered from there on and a half-time hook seemed inevitable. 4
Substitutes
13 Kristoffer Klaesson
2 Luke Ayling
3 Junior Firpo
9 Patrick Bamford (on for Rodrigo h/t)
Picked up the right positions and made the right runs, but his touch and execution was as rusty as usual. That was summed up by the penalty he dragged wide. 6
10 Crysencio Summerville (on for Roca 84min)
Late change. N/A
14 Diego Llorente
30 Joe Gelhardt (on for Sinisterra 89min)
Late change to chase it. N/A
42 Sam Greenwood
43 Mateusz Klich (on for Harrison 75min)
Fresh ideas as Harrison ran out of chances. N/A
