The Story in 60 Seconds

Arsenal mounted a second-half comeback to secure a 2-1 victory against Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium. After James Justin put the previously unbeaten visitors ahead in the 55th minute, Riccardo Calafiori equalized for the Gunners seven minutes later. Substitute Bruno Guimaraes then scored the decisive goal just six minutes after coming off the bench, earning all three points for Mikel Arteta's side.

The win moved Arsenal level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City, trailing only on goal difference after recovering from a 3-0 loss to Brighton before the international break. Guimaraes, who joined the club from Newcastle for £75 million, netted his second goal for Arsenal following a clever setup from Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.
