Leeds exposed Arsenal’s vulnerabilities, A game Leeds should have won

Mikel Arteta was smoking as she approached the subsequent press conference on Sunday after her team took a raffle. Spanish could not believe the flat that was an arsenal side against Leeds United in Elland Road.Arteta was particularly concerned about the lack of a goal threat and its inability to create possibilities against a Leeds team that is not known as being compact in the back.

Arsenal form in recent weeks has been on a marked contrast with the way they started the season. They have gone from being a team that dominates and clinic in front of the goal on one side that lacks inspiration. The North London Club won its first three games in all competitions when the campaign began, but now they are not a victory in their last two league matches. The gunners were humiliated 3-0 by Aston Villa before international breaks and could not pick up three points against Leeds. Much of the talk after the Gallino raffle against Marcelo Bielsa’s side focused on the ridiculous Nicolas Pepe’s red card.

However, the end shipment can not be harmed on the cracks on this arsenal equipment. Leeds was clearly the best side of the appearance of the game. The side of the house dominated possession and created the best possibilities. They were, perhaps, unfortunate of not having won the game (Leeds hit the carpentry three times).

Arteta has been widely praised by the improvements he has made to the Arsenal, but the progress of the team seems to have stagnated in recent weeks. They have not had a good performance since they exceeded Manchester United in Old Trafford.
