How Mikel Arteta watched Liverpool vs Manchester City as Arsenal receive huge title race boost

Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table on Sunday with a huge victory over Leeds United, though it was far from an easy match. After the game was delayed for around 40 minutes due to a power cut that wiped out all technology available to the referees, the Gunners were under pressure from the hosts.

Bukayo Saka looked to relieve that when he rifled his effort into the roof of the net from a tight angle to give the visitors the lead. While Mikel Arteta's side were winning, they still found the game far from comfortable as Patrick Bamford 'scored' before his effort was disallowed for a push on Gabriel.

The striker had a chance to score again, this time from the spot as William Saliba handled the ball in the box, but he put the penalty wide. He then appeared to win a spot-kick in the last minute after a kick out from Gabriel, though VAR overturned the decision as Bamford was judged to foul the defender beforehand.
