Leeds United fell into the bottom three of the Premier League table after a battling 2-1 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates. An early brace from Gunners striker Eddie Nketiah coupled with Luke Ayling's sending off for a challenge on Gabriel Martinelli left Leeds with it all to do in the second half.
After the break, they grabbed a goal back through defender Diego Llorente but were unable to snatch what could have been an invaluable point in north London. Ayling's red will mean he misses games against Chelsea, Brighton and Brentford, hardly an ideal situation for Jesse Marsch's side with Premier League survival on the line.
Everton's win over Leicester means Leeds now sit 18th with three games left of the Premier League campaign. Against Arsenal, they showed some fight in the second half but were unable to overcome what was a dismal mistake-strewn opening 45 minutes.
