It said everything about this bizarre game - and season - that Arsenal were hanging on at the final whistle.
They are making such hard work of the race for top four that you could feel the nerves jangling right through the Emirates from a game they should have won at a canter. Leeds were 2-0 down inside ten minutes, Eddie Nketiah scored twice and the visitors were reduced to ten men after Luke Ayling’s crazy, ill disciplined red card.
It was one of the worst, most farcical opening 30 minutes from a Premier League team you will ever see. Leeds looked to be on course for a real thrashing. But Arsenal took their foot off the gas, wasted chances, allowed Leeds to stage the most unlikely comeback and the visitors so nearly grabbed something from a game they could have easily lost by five or six nil.
