Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
72: SUB! Odegaard is removed, with summer signing Vieira taking his place in midfield, with Xhaka taking the armband.
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
Sky Sports' Sam Blitz at Elland Road:
"Oooh that's another big call from the referee. If Bamford goes down, Saliba is tugging him back and it's a red card as last man.
"The Leeds striker is too honest and Ramsdale saves again. Another big moment from the Gunners goalkeeper."
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
70: CHANCE! Another brilliant defence-splitting through ball by Harrison releases Bamford, but with Saliba - on a yellow - pulling at his shirt, the striker just cannot quite get his shot off as Ramsdale races off his line to close the gap on the sub.
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
69: The Leeds faithful will be wondering just how they are still behind in this contest as we move into the last 20 minutes at Elland Road.
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
65: WHAT A CHANCE! Aaronson is released down the left and from his perfect pull back, there was the unmarked Sinisterra eight yards out, but his shot is blocked by an Arsenal defender otherwise that was the equaliser.
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
Sky Sports' Sam Blitz at Elland Road:
"Saliba was warned with that poor touch out for Bamford's one-on-one and is too lackadaisical there.
"The French defender has been so good this season but is struggling at Elland Road.
"Arsenal try to delay Bamford taking this penalty and there's handbags in the box. The Leeds striker has changed the flow of this game and is standing over it...."
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
60: PENALTY & YELLOW! But Mr Kavanagh has been called over to the pitchside monitor by VAR Michael Oliver and he points to the spot, with Saliba booked for the offence.
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
Sky Sports' Sam Blitz at Elland Road:
"VAR are checking this and the referee goes straight to the monitor.
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
54: CHANCES! Saliba loses the ball in a dangerous area, allowing Bamford a run at goal, but Ramsdale does brilliantly to race off his line and make a brave double block at the sub's feet - and the England international has come off worse there and needs treatment...

52: NO PENALTY! Arsenal want a penalty as Odegaard's thumping drive from just inside the area hits Kock on the arm in the box, but the referee says the defender was too close and has awarded a corner instead...
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
The xG value of that Saka strike was 0.09, underlining just how good a finish it was.
Let's hope for a second half as good as the first. It's been a frenetic game
Bamford set to come on at half-time
Sky Sports' Sam Blitz at Elland Road:
"Bamford is stripped and doing a warm-up on the Elland Road turf already. He'll be on for the second half.
"I wonder if he'll come on for Rodrigo. He was sent out to jog just seconds after the Leeds crowd were lambasting him."
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
HALF TIME! Around 40 minutes later than expected after that early delay due to a power cut, but that is the half at Elland Road!
It's been a cracking game, despite the delay. Saka's goal is the difference at the moment. He took it brilliantly, but Leeds fans will still be wondering what Rodrigo was thinking with the errant cross-field pass that presented the chance.
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
45+1: SHOT! Another well-worked move from Arsenal as Jesus feeds Odegaard on the edge of the box. His shot is straight at Meslier.
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
45: OVER! Aaronson wins the ball off Tomiyasu in Arsenal's half and finds Harrison, but his shot is wayward.
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
42: Some olés from the Arsenal fans are brought to abrupt end when Partey loses the ball in his own half but the visitors recover. Leeds are pressing really aggressively as they seek to conjure a response before half-time.
Leeds 0-1 Arsenal
Sky Sports' Sam Blitz at Elland Road:
"Rodrigo's torment continues. He takes a poor touch which he just saves from going out of play. Then he gives the ball to Kristensen in a clear offside position.
"Leeds fans roar in anger against their own player again. Marsch then sends Bamford to warm up."
GOAL! Leeds 0-1 Arsenal (Saka, 35)
What a finish that is. Saka's excellent start to the game is rewarded.
It comes from a terrible cross-field pass by Rodrigo, who gifts possession to Arsenal needlessly.
From there, Saka nods the ball to Odegaard, then takes it back from him, before lashing an unstoppable finish high into the net from an acute angle.
First blood to Arsenal.

Sky Sports' Sam Blitz at Elland Road:
"Great game this. Both sides making this a contest, with Leeds playing very brave, attacking football and Arsenal so fluid on the break.
"Leeds are giving Odegaard far too much space to manoeuvre and the Gunners' left is where a lot of chances are coming from.
"Jesus has to score that chance from a few yards out, no matter what the angle is like, he is just too clever with it."

21: SCRAMBLE! It's hard to tell exactly what happened there but Ramsdale denies Leeds from close-range from the corner following a goalmouth scramble.
We've just seen a replay. Sensational reaction from Ramsdale, down low to his right to deny the hosts.

19: SHOT! Odegaard picks up possession in a pocket of space, drives forward and shoots from 20 yards out but his effort hits Jesus.
Arsenal then try to find Martinelli again at the back post but Meslier does well to get a hand
to it and then gather.
