Arsenal managed to build a gap of four points at the top of the table when they earned a huge 1-0 victory over Leeds United at Elland Road. It was far from easy for the Gunners though as controversy began in the first minute and ran all the way until the last in a challenging afternoon.
The game had to be suspended just seconds after kick off as a power cut stopped all technology used by the officials from working, taking roughly 40 minutes for proceedings to get underway yet again. Star winger Bukayo Saka then opened the scoring in the first half, squeezing in a powerful shot into the roof of the net from an impossibly tight angle on the right.
The home side piled the pressure on after the break though as William Saliba was penalised for a handball in the box, but Patrick Bamford dragged his spot kick wide of the target. The home side thought another penalty was awarded in the final few minutes as defender Gabriel appeared to catch Bamford with his trailing leg, though it was subsequently overturned as the striker was adjudged to have fouled the Brazilian first.
