7M - Arsenal Dominates Leeds with 4-0 Victory

Arsenal bounced back impressively from a recent slump, securing a decisive 4-0 win against Leeds United that solidified their lead at the top of the Premier League table.

Ending a three-match winless run, Arsenal's victory increased their advantage to seven points over their closest rivals. Manchester City and Aston Villa had recently narrowed the gap after Arsenal's dip in form, but the Gunners showcased their class at Elland Road.

Noni Madueke was the standout performer in the first half, stepping into the starting lineup due to Bukayo Saka's injury during warm-ups. He provided a superb cross that Martin Zubimendi converted for the opener in the 27th minute, following a set-piece by Declan Rice on his 300th league appearance.

Madueke's influence continued as his corner led to Arsenal's second goal. Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow, under pressure from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, inadvertently directed the ball into his own net after mishandling the corner.

Viktor Gyokeres, who had a near miss earlier due to a great block by Joe Rodon, found the net in the 69th minute with an off-balance shot, marking his first goal since mid-December. Gabriel Jesus, substituting for Gyokeres, capped off the scoring with a precise finish into the bottom-right corner in the final minutes.

Leeds struggled to challenge Arsenal throughout the match and remain in 16th place, six points clear of relegation.
