Arsenal 5-0 Leeds — reaction
Arsenal overtook rivals Tottenham at the top of the Premier League table after a thumping 5-0 win against Leeds United.
Goals from Jurrien Timber (34', 56') after corners, Bukayo Saka (45+1') and Viktor Gyokeres (48', 90+4') sealed an easy win.
Martin Odegaard and Saka went off with injuries before Max Dowman became the second-youngest Premier League player of all time, winning a penalty on his competitive debut.
- Dowman, 15, made his first senior appearance for Arsenal
- Earlier, Arsenal announced the signing of Eberechi Eze for £60m
Man of the match: Jurrien Timber
He scored twice and grabbed an assist today, so it is no surprise to see Jurrien Timber head home with the man of the match award. Here’s what he had to say when speaking to Sky Sports:
“A special day. It’s nice first home game this season, we felt the energy of the crowd and the team played really well. Scoring two times and assisting as well, it was an enjoyable day. I definitely haven't scored twice and assisted as well before. Most of my family are here, some friends too.
“Everyone can see the potential Max (Dowman) has. Already, playing against grown men like this. He is a joy to watch and hopefully he will have some amazing years.
“It's a message to ourselves (to win 5-0). We did lots of things well, we look forward to next week at Anfield and we have to do well.”
