Analysis: Leeds well beaten but defeat won't define season

Leeds started their season with a win over Everton and that three points gave their supporters some hope coming to Arsenal.

However, Leeds had lost 10 of their past 12 Premier League away games against the Gunners and they never looked like improving that record in this match.

Arsenal are a completely different prospect from the Everton side they beat last Monday and apart from the header from Pascal Struijk, Daniel Farke's side did not threaten the Gunners.

Leeds were able to give a debut to new £18m striker Noah Okafor and, along with Lukas Nmecha, they will hope that he can get the goals they need to break the trend of the newly promoted sides going straight back down to the Championship.

Their task does not get any easier as they take on Newcastle next and they will have to show more resilience in that match to avoid the chance of a repeat result.
