Very good pressing by Leeds
3: Gray playing at no 10 and supporting Joseph upfront. McKinstrt on the right, McGurk on the left, Bate and Jenkins in centre midfield.
The defence
5: Shackletonat right back, Hjelde at left back. Kenneh and Mullen the centre backs. Leeds have started well, nothing from Arsenal yet
CHANCE LEEDS
7: Fine challenge by Mullen, lovely pass by Bate to send McKinstry away down the right, ball pulled back for McGurk who flashes a shot just over the bar from just inside the box
ANOTHER CHANCE LEEDS
9: Gray, from the left, curls in a lovely pass for McKinstry who picks up the ball on the edge of the box and smashes a shot just over. Three good chances already
11: McGurk into the box but low cross cleared, Gray close to applying a backheel finish before that, corner then cleared after Kenneh’s shot was deflected wide. Arsenal then have their first attack but VDH easily gathers a cross
Break wasted by Leeds
15: Bate racing forward, plays in McKinstry but his low cross is cleared, slipped in the process
HUGE CHANCE LEEDS
17: Joseph is in one on one after another huge defensive error, from the left, he goes for the bottom left corner as opposed to firing across goal and his shot is tipped behihd for a corner which is cleared.
