Arsenal won the match 5-0 against Leeds, who was promoted from the second division at home, and made their second consecutive win in the opening season. Leeds midfielder Tanaka Aoi (26) is starting pitcher. He faced off Arsenal midfielder Rice, who had overlapping positions, but there was no show and he left in the 13th minute of the second half, with the score at 4-0.
Arsenal has officially decided to join England forward Eze from Crystal Palace, and will appear at Emirates Stadium before the match. His jersey number was 10 and he received an enthusiastic welcome from his supporters. In the future, attention will be paid to how it will be used.
Arsenal took the lead from the beginning of the match. Leeds would have wanted to hold the ball, but is it expected that Arsenal's pressure would be pushed against them? He persistently defended with a block of 4-1-4-1 and looked for an opportunity to strike back. Tanaka played on the right in the second row. He matched up with Arsenal's Rice and continued to put pressure on him.
In the 34th minute of the first half, Arsenal broke the balance with his special set piece. Defender Timber headed Rice's sharp left corner kick to take the lead. In the 46th minute, forward Saka scored his first goal of the league with his right foot from a difficult angle on the right side.
In the third minute of the second half, the long-awaited hit was made by the newly signed striker. FW Gyekeles, who joined the team from Portugal's first division, slashed from the left side to the center, and punched through the near side with his right foot. In the 11th minute, defender Timber scored again from a set piece with his right foot to extend the lead.
However, midfielder Udegaard, who had been showing concern for his shoulders from the beginning, left the ball in the 38th minute of the first half, and in the 8th minute of the second half, Saka hurt his leg and sat on the pitch, and was replaced. There are concerns about the condition of the two main players, but 15-year-old midfielder Douman made his premiere debut from the 19th in the second half. He was the third player to appear under the age of 15 in league history, and he won a penalty kick with his skilled footwork just before the end of the game. Gyekelesh kicked it with his right foot and made it 5-0.
Leeds defeated Everton 1-0 in the opening game on the 18th to win, but Tanaka's pass mistakes were also seen under pressure from Arsenal, making it impossible to find a way to attack.
