Arsenal player ratings vs Leeds: Guimaraes and Calafiori shine in comeback win
Arsenal ratings: Guimaraes and Calafiori star in 2-1 Leeds comeback

Bruno Guimaraes came off the bench to score again as Arsenal turned things around to beat Leeds 2-1 in north London.

James Justin had given the visitors the lead just after half-time and the Gunners looked rattled, well off the pace in the first match back after an extended three-week international break.

Calafiori and Guimaraes turn the tide

However, the response was impressive. Riccardo Calafiori equalised and Guimaraes, as he did against Sunderland earlier this season, drilled in a superb finish to make the difference.

Matt Verri was at the Emirates to rate the Arsenal players.

Player ratings

David Raya 7 - Top saves to keep out Gudmundsson and Tanaka. Good balance to stop a header crossing the line, too, and his distribution was a real weapon. Cross for Leeds' goal was too good for him to cut out.

Ben White 6 - Offside twice in the early stages, with the timing of his runs not quite there. Combinations with Saka and Odegaard were not as sharp as usual. But big contribution when nodding across goal to set up Calafiori goal with his final touch.

Ezri Konsa 8 - Dominant performance, even more impressive considering he was an injury doubt. Stood up to Calvert-Lewin physically and was also really assured in possession. Became tougher after the break but he dealt well with that.

Gabriel 6 - Valiant effort to keep Justin's strike out on the line. Not as composed as Konsa alongside him and there were a couple of really slack moments with the ball at his feet.

Riccardo Calafiori 8 - Arsenal's wildcard at left-back. Galloped forward and created opportunities for Madueke and Saka, and then of course it was him poaching in the six-yard box to equalise. Vital to this attack.

Declan Rice 6 - Did not look better for a three-week break. Unusually sloppy on the ball and did not cover the ground as well, including for Leeds' goal. However, it was a brilliant flicked assist for Guimaraes' goal as his legs seemingly returned in the final 30 minutes.

Myles Lewis-Skelly 6 - Completed 94% of his passes but that didn't feel like a positive - too often it was too safe. Used his body well as ever and drew fouls, but his influence was limited.

Bukayo Saka 5 - Really frustrating. Not enough conviction in taking on his man and wasted a dangerous counter when underhitting a pass through to Madueke. Involved in the lovely move for the winner but fluffed his lines when clean through with the final kick of the match.

Martin Odegaard 6 - Poor in the first half, as most around him were. Decision-making and execution was miles off where it has been this season. Grew into the match and clicked into gear when linking play for Guimaraes' winner.

Noni Madueke 8 - Justified Arteta's faith in him. Comfortable on the left and could have had a couple of assists for Odegaard and Havertz. His cross led to the equaliser and he was a constant threat out wide. Encouraging display.

Kai Havertz 4 - Looked like a mistake to start him. Never seemed to be at full pelt after his hamstring issue over the international break. Kept being caught offside and the constant drifting out wide didn't help Arsenal. Well off the pace.

Substitutes make the difference

Jurrien Timber (White 63') 6 - Big boost for Arsenal to have both right-backs fit. Tried to do too much on the ball deep in Arsenal's half on one occasion, but got away with it.

Piero Hincapie (Calafiori 81') 7 - Great clearance in the six-yard box late on to stop Leeds having the chance to equalise.

Bruno Guimaraes (Lewis-Skelly 63') 8 - Played like he had a point to prove after not starting. Raised the intensity and speed of Arsenal's play. Always looked for the positive option and then finished exceptionally from the edge of the area.

Viktor Gyokeres (Havertz 63') 6 - Worked hard up front and had one nice driving run. Did not hold the ball up very well and then should have done more after beating Trafford to a long ball.

Mikel Merino (Odegaard 89') N/A
