Leeds slips into relegation zone after defeat at Arsenal

The Hindu  

Leeds United suffered a huge setback in its battle for Premier League survival after a 2-1 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday saw it drop into the relegation zone as the hosts took another step towards securing a top-four finish. An early quickfire double from former Leeds loanee Eddie Nketiah put Arsenal in firm control before the visitors was reduced to 10 midway through the first half when Luke Ayling was sent off for a two-footed challenge on Gabriel Martinelli. Former Leeds loanee Eddie Nketiah fired Arsenal ahead after five minutes when visiting goalkeeper Illan Meslier dwelled on a routine back pass, allowing the forward to nip in and poke the ball home from inside the six-yard box. Five minutes later, winger Gabriel Martinelli wriggled past three Leeds defenders and played a neat cut-back to the unmarked Nketiah for the 22-year-old to tap in and put Mikel Arteta's side firmly in control.
