Arsenal Thrash Leeds 5–0 in Premier League Dominance
Arsenal produced a spectacular performance at the Emirates Stadium, dismantling Leeds United 5–0 in their first home game of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
The Gunners wasted no time stamping their authority, with Jurrien Timber delivering an outstanding display from right-back. Timber scored two goals and provided an assist, cementing his place as one of the match’s top performers.
New signing Viktor Gyökeres opened his Premier League account in style, netting two goals—including a composed penalty that was earned by debutant Max Dowman, who made headlines with a stunning introduction at just 15 years old.
Bukayo Saka added the fifth goal to complete the rout, though Arsenal’s joy was slightly tempered by injury concerns. Both Saka (hamstring) and captain Martin Ødegaard (shoulder) were forced off during the game, raising questions ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
Key Highlights:
⚽ Timber (2 goals, 1 assist)
⚽ Gyökeres (2 goals)
⚽ Saka (1 goal)
🌟 Max Dowman (won a penalty on debut)
Manager Mikel Arteta praised his team’s relentless energy and hailed Dowman’s impact as “something special.”
With this emphatic win, Arsenal have made an early statement in the title race and boosted confidence heading into the next run of fixtures.
