Gabriel Jesus got his goalscoring boots back on for his first goals since October as he helped Arsenal to a comfortable win over Leeds United.
With much of the pre-match analysis focused on the absence of Bukayo Saka in the starting lineup, the Brazilian forward was more than enough to breach the Leeds’ defence time and again.
Jesus’ first-half penalty after Luke Ayling’s mistimed challenge on him put the Gunners in front just after the half-hour mark.
It was all Arsenal from then on as Jesus made it 3-0 with a clinical first-time finish from Leandro Trossard’s drilled cross.
Rasmus Kristensen pulled a goal back for Leeds via a heavy deflection off Oleksandr Zinchenko, but Granit Xhaka’s late header from Martin Odegaard’s delivery completed the scoring with six minutes remaining.
The defeat leaves Javi Gracia’s team hovering a point above the relegation zone with 10 games of the campaign left to play.
