Arsenal came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, October 10, 2026, with Riccardo Calafiori and Bruno Guimarães scoring in the second half.
The comeback restored Arsenal’s winning form after their 3-0 defeat to Brighton before the international break.
The Gunners had to work hard for all three points, with Leeds taking the lead and causing problems for the home side for much of the contest.
James Justin put Leeds ahead in the 55th minute, finishing after Gabriel Gudmundsson delivered the ball into the penalty area.
The visitors had looked dangerous and made life difficult for Arsenal’s defence.
However, Arsenal responded quickly, and Calafiori equalised seven minutes later, finishing from close range after Noni Madueke’s delivery was kept alive by Ben White.
The goal shifted the momentum, and Mikel Arteta’s substitutions soon made a decisive difference.
Bruno Guimarães Completes Arsenal Comeback
Bruno Guimarães came off the bench and scored the winning goal in the 70th minute, just minutes after entering the game.
The Brazilian finished a well worked move involving Martin Ødegaard and Declan Rice, sending a low shot into the corner to put Arsenal ahead for the first time.
His goal completed a turnaround that had looked uncertain when Leeds were in front.
Arsenal created further opportunities to extend their lead, but the home side held on to claim the victory.
Calafiori and Guimarães Continue Their Scoring Form
Both Calafiori and Guimarães have now scored their second goals for Arsenal since the start of the new season, adding another positive note to the comeback.
Calafiori provided the equaliser that brought Arsenal back into the match, while Guimarães delivered the decisive finish after being introduced as a substitute.
The result moved Arsenal onto 15 points, level with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, although Arsenal remained behind on goal difference at the time of reporting.
Leeds, meanwhile, were left to reflect on a promising performance that ultimately ended in defeat.
With the comeback complete, attention now turns to Arsenal’s next fixture and whether Arteta’s side can build on the result.
