Leeds 1-3 Arsenal
Of course I signed Ben White for my fantasy football team at about 3:45pm today, didn't I?
Raphinha
A lovely penalty by Raphinha and are Leeds back in this?
The Brazilian sends Aaron Ramsdale the wrong way and hammers his penalty in the top-right corner.
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
Joe Gelhardt is just about to be replaced for Leeds... and he wins a penalty. Ben White lunges in and brings down the youngster. Terrible tackle.
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
Aaron Ramsdale's first save but he could have thrown a hat on Tyler Roberts' weak 20-yard shot.
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
Good play by Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale to race out of his box and clear a potentially dangerous Leeds move.
Gives him something to do. He hasn't made a save yet.

Richard Browne: Swift reminder that this is the same Arsenal team blown away by Liverpool. Leeds nursery team is hardly a challenge.
@Tom 18:40 do Arsenal fans ever learn? Win a couple of easy games and talk up top-four hopes. Then lose to any of the top teams and back to square one. Rinse and repeat.
James, London
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
Arsenal have their first chance now since the break. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli play a one-two in the box and Saka drags his shot just wide of the far post.
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
The second-half thrashing we were all expecting hasn't really happened. Gabriel Martinelli is offside before having a shot blocked anyway.
Illan Meslier made eight saves in the first half, but hasn't been needed since the break.

Bad news, Liam. Takehiro Tomiyasu is injured and Cedric Soares takes his place.

Liam: Tomiyasu is casually dropping another 9/10 performance. He has blown me away, genius signing for the price. Love him.
Spanish La Liga
Imagine if Barcelona were playing struggling Elche and leading 2-0, and then Elche scored twice in a couple of minutes to make it 2-2.
You don't need to imagine, it's happened.
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
It's been fairly even since the break. Pretty much 50-50 possession and no shots on target.
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
Tyler Roberts shoots over for Leeds and Stuart Dallas is back on.
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
Stuart Dallas needs treatment now off the pitch. He must have hurt himself in that move.
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
Takehiro Tomiyasu knocks the ball past Stuart Dallas and does him for pace so the Northern Ireland international has to grab him to stop him and gets booked.

Andrew Mitchell: I can’t be alone in wondering how Granit Xhaka hasn’t been sent off there? Nowhere near the ball, coming down onto the ankle. Seen plenty of players sent off for less.
Andrew Worby: That tackle is exactly why Xhaka cannot be captain again. 3-0 up and he risks a red card in the middle of the pitch for no reason.
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
Nice move for Leeds but Mateusz Klich's dangerous ball across the six-yard box doesn't find anyone.
Better in this half for the hosts.

I think all Leeds fans knew we were in for a tough run up to and over Christmas. So it's proving. We have some good young players and will improve when the injuries ease.
Andy
I can understand why Leeds fans are anxious, but relegation is quite simple: the three worst teams go down. Leeds aren't one of the three worst teams. They'll get whippings, but they'll also win enough games.
Loz, Palace fan
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
Mateusz Klich runs his way out of defence with several high-risk moves and ends up starting an attack. Raphinha tries to head down a long ball into the box but it rolls out
Leeds 0-3 Arsenal
Leeds striker Joe Gelhardt is booked for a pretty similar challenge on Takehiro Tomiyasu.
