Arsenal break all-time premier league record in Leeds thumping
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt">Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, beat Leeds 4-1 at Elland Road on Saturday, breaking an all-time Premier League record.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">Arsenal dominated the game from the start, with Arteta&#8217;s side hitting the target 11 times in the first half.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-15688 size-large" src="https://thedailypage.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/0_GettyImages-1359709775_resize_75-945x630.jpg" alt="Arsenal" width="945" height="630" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">In doing so, the Gunners set a new Premier League record while scoring three goals in a half.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">Gabriel Martinelli gave Arsenal the lead after only 15 minutes, and the Brazilian added a second 12 minutes later.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">Bukayo Saka, an England midfielder, added a third shortly before halftime, thereby securing all three points.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">Raphinha&#8217;s penalty gave Leeds a ray of hope, but it was too little, too late for Marcelo Bielsa&#8217;s team.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">Emile Smith Rowe then put the game out of reach when he got on the end of Martin Odegaard&#8217;s pass and shot past Illan Meslier in the Leeds goal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">After a 3-0 win over Southampton and a 2-0 triumph over David Moyes&#8217; West Ham last time out, Arsenal has now won three in a row.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">Arsenal are now firmly in contention for a Champions League place following their three points at Elland Road.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">With 32 points from 18 games, the Gunners have moved into fourth place, four points ahead of fifth-placed West Ham.</span></p>
