Gabriel Martinelli’s first-half brace and further goals from Bukayo Saka and substitute Emile Smith Rowe secured Arteta’s impressive side a third straight league win. The Gunners cashed in against a depleted Leeds side, who were without 10 first team players through injury and suspension, but the Londoners’ classy display was marred by football’s latest racist incident. “Leeds United can confirm that an investigation into claims of racism during the first half of our game with Arsenal today is under way, and that one arrest has been made in connection to the allegation,” a club statement read. Any opponent this season, you know the difficulty you’re going to face.”They (Leeds) never gave up in the second half and they’re a team I really like. You have to be very convinced, in a big way, of where you’re going to absorb these moments.”
