LEEDS, England (Reuters) - Arsenal handed Leeds United their first home loss of the season with a gritty 1-0 victory in a frantic game at Elland Road on Sunday to remain top of the Premier League with their best ever start to a season.
Bukayo Saka's first-half goal was enough to give Arsenal a spirited victory against an eager Leeds side, marking the first time in the North London club's history that they have won nine of their opening 10 games in a top-flight season.
"My heart is still racing but I'm just really happy to get the three points," Saka told Sky Sports."It was a really tough game. Leeds did well, especially in the second half, and they put a lot of pressure on us. Leeds striker Patrick Bamford had the ball in the net within a minute into the second half as the home crowd erupted, but their joy was short-lived as the referee ruled the effort out for the Englishman's foul on Arsenal centre back Gabriel.
The home side were awarded another penalty when Kavanagh sent off Gabriel in added time for kicking out at Bamford but a VAR check revealed the striker had pushed the defender to the ground first and the referee reversed the decision.
