Arsenal are fortunate to have won a goalless draw at Leeds United in the ninth round of the Premier League. The visitors played poorly against Leeds, they were still short of people at 52 minutes.
Despite having to play away from home, but at a higher level, Arsenal are considered to have a better chance of winning than the local team, Leeds United. However, if you only look at the statistics after the game, a lot of people will think that the “Gunners” indicators belong to Leeds, and vice versa.
Coach Mikel Arteta’s army played very weakly against newly promoted opponents. Leeds controlled the ball 65% of the time, threw 25 shots, 4 times the ball hit the visitor’s goal, while Arsenal had only 9 shots in the match, only 2 times the ball hit the ball. opponent’s subject.
The visitors had to play without people in the 52nd minute because Pepe received a red card. However, not necessarily due to a lack of people, which is why Arsenal were inferior to Leeds. In fact, Leeds finished in the first half more than the second (13 times in the first half, 12 times in the second half), sadly the home team forwards were not destined to score either.
Goalkeeper Leno is one of the few Arsenal positions that has played well at Elland Road. The German goalkeeper has good blocking situations, he even shed blood to preserve the net and win a point for Arsenal. One point from this match makes Arsenal 13 points and ranked 11.
Leeds could have won three points, sadly they only had a draw to end their two-game losing streak. Coach Marco Bielsa’s performance in this match is very good, from defense, control and attack, Leeds did everything well, only the end of the host players was a shame.
All that Leeds can do in front of Arsenal’s goal is only on the level of opportunity, even the poor home team’s forwards accidentally make the background for goalkeeper Leno to shine. With one more point, Leeds now has 11 points and is 14th.
The two teams accelerated the game after the opening whistle with a fast attack play. In minute 10, Ceballos decided to finish decisively from near the penalty area, deflecting to the right, the ball narrowly missed the post. Leeds responded quickly, Bamford cushioned the ball at a distance of about 5 meters after a fall pass from a teammate in the 12th minute, the ball came close and was not strong so Leno compacted it.
In the first part of the first half, Arsenal displayed a better attack with more shots than the home team. In the 21st minute, Pepe crossed the ball from the left wing, the ball going deep to hit the Leeds crossbar. Arsenal created many shots in the first half of the first half, but the goal was always outside the home team’s goal.
In the second half of the first half, Leeds blocked the opponent’s ball well, deployed a very coherent attack, controlled the game with continuous brakes. The chances of scoring for the home team are many, unfortunately their forwards are no better than Arsenal, the ball often goes to the stands after the home player’s shots.
After the break, coach Arteta decided to replace Nelson with Willian in hopes of refreshing Arsenal’s game. However, when the visitors were still struggling to find ways to attack, they lost people. Pepe hit Alioski in the face without the ball, and after VAR, referee Taylor showed a red card and directly disqualified the Arsenal player in the 52nd minute.
Playing more than people, Leeds still did not dare to push too high, the team increased the pressure, but increased the time to control the ball. In 64 minutes, Dallas shot from outside the area, the ball went high, but Leno was equally excellent with the flying phase to push the ball out of bounds. This is a rare shot that hit the home team from the start of the second half.
In the 70th minute, coach Bielsa decided to replace striker Rodrigo to replace defender Ayling to increase his attack on Leeds. 10 minutes after being on the field, the Spanish striker finished shooting the crossbar, the ball went flying.
Arsenal are focused on defense, the visitors can rarely counterattack. In the 84th minute, a golden opportunity for Arsenal to score when Saka kept the ball aloft, passed the Leeds goalkeeper, worthy of this player, and when Saka finished, goalkeeper Meslier was also in time to return. to break.
The wooden frames help Arsenal again. In the 88th minute, Bamford hit his head high after a Poveda cross, the ball hitting the midpost to go out.
Leeds’ last chance to score a fine goal in the fifth minute of injury time, Raphinha received the ball on the left side of the area. His left-handed shot sent the ball bouncing off the post. Very unfortunate for Leeds, leaving the best scoring opportunity in the second half, the home team had to split points.
