The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
Arsenal recover to move level at the top
Arsenal came from behind to move level with Manchester City at the Premier League summit. Mikel Arteta's side were under pressure after a heavy beating at Brighton in their previous match, and some Arsenal fans were already on edge. Leeds, the season's surprise high-flyers, took a deserved lead through James Justin. The goal delighted the raucous Yorkshire support.
Arsenal responded when Calafiori equalised. The goal brought the Gunners back into the game. Arteta then made an inspired substitution. Before Leeds had time to react, Bruno Guimaraes scored one of the goals of the season so far. Declan Rice provided a brilliant back heel and the Brazilian finished it perfectly.
The result leaves Arsenal back level with the leaders at the top. It also puts attention on a troubled Manchester City, who will be all ears.
Spurs salvage a late point at Old Trafford
At the bottom end of the table, Tottenham still have not won this season. They looked set for another defeat after falling behind late on at Manchester United. Their position worsened when Bentancur clashed with Luke Shaw. The referee judged it a headbutt and sent Bentancur off, leaving Spurs with a red card and a walk of shame.
Spurs had played well, though, and in stoppage time they found an equaliser against the odds. Dominic Solanke saved the day. It was not a win, but it was something to cling to.
