What Arsenal players did in game delay as Mikel Arteta angers fans: Moments missed vs Leeds

Arsenal remain top of the league after scraping to a 1-0 victory over Leeds United despite a dreadful display. The game got off to a bizarre start as a power cut which took out the VAR TV feed and goal line technology saw it delayed by roughly 40 minutes.

When things got back underway, Leeds caused the Gunners a few issues with Luis Sinisterra going close on a couple of occasions, but it was Arsenal who took the lead when Bukayo Saka finished superbly from a tight angle after a bizarre back-pass from Rodrigo had been intercepted. Leeds came back out reinvigorated though and half time substitute Patrick Bamford made a huge impact. William Saliba then gave away a penalty for a poor handball, but got out of jail when Bamford put it wide.

A dramatic game continued with Leeds well on top and just when it seemed Arsenal had held out, Leeds were awarded a second penalty and Gabriel a red card for kicking out at Bamford in the box. VAR intervened however, and Arsenal got away with it to hold on and win despite an awful display. Here football.london takes a look back at some of the moments you may have missed from the game.
