Arsenal’s win over Leeds should be a major wake-up call for £65m player

The Premier League champions avoided a scare at the Emirates in Saturday’s early kick-off, scraping past a tricky Leeds United side. Arsenal came from a goal down to narrowly earn all three points in a 2-1 win, thanks to a match-winning cameo from Bruno Guimaraes off the bench.

Ultimately, on a day where the Gunners’ top players didn’t really turn up, Mikel Arteta used the depth of his squad to turn things around.

Jurrien Timber, Piero Hincapie, Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino also all came off the bench to contribute to the victory. But one player who didn’t get on at all, and whom most people perhaps expected to start, was Eberechi Eze .
