The Premier League relegation race took another twist on Sunday as Leeds United dropped into the bottom three following a 2-1 defeat to Champions League-chasing Arsenal at the Emirates. Jesse Marsch's side went 2-0 down in the early stages of the first-half before right-back Luke Ayling was sent off for a robust challenge on Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli.
It means Leeds will be without one of their key players for the remainder of the campaign, with Ayling now missing games against Chelsea, Brighton and Brentford. To make things worse for Marsch, Everton, who sat five points behind Leeds until last weekend, picked up an impressive 2-1 away win against Leicester, meaning they climbed above both the Whites and Burnley into 16th place.
The Toffees' had lost their seven previous away matches and won just six points on the road all season prior to their visit to the King Power Stadium.
