At 01:30 Beijing time on December 19, the 18th round of the Premier League, Arsenal played Leeds United. In the first half, Martinelli scored twice and Saka scored; in the second half, Rafinha hit a penalty and Smith Rowe was the icing on the cake. In the end, Arsenal beat Leeds United 4-1 to usher in a three-game winning streak in the league and temporarily finished fourth in the table.
In the 16th minute, Fochau played with fire inside the penalty area, Lacazette stole the ball, and Martinelli followed up with a shot to break the goal! Arsenal lead 1-0!
In the 28th minute, Xhaka was sharp and straight, Martinelli single-handedly broke through, calmly picked and broke the net! Arsenal lead 2-0!
This is the first time that Martinelli has scored twice in his Premier League career. In his last two Premier League games, the Brazilian rising star has scored three goals, matching his previous 24 Premier League goals. He also set a new personal Premier League single-season goal record with four goals.
In the 42nd minute, the Leeds United defence was once again busy with mistakes, Saka took advantage of the chaotic lateral dribbling, slammed the ball past the defenders, and pumped the near corner to win! Arsenal lead 3-0!
In the first half alone, Arsenal completed 11 shots on target, setting a record high in nearly six seasons. Although Leeds United manager Bielsa made a substitution in the 30th minute, he still could not stop Arsenal's tidal attack.
In the 75th minute, Ben White brought down Gerhardt in the penalty area, the referee awarded a penalty, and Rafinha was able to do it! 1-3, Leeds United pulled a goal back!
In the 84th minute, Odegaard sent a brilliant straight ball, and Smith Rowe scored! Arsenal lead 4-1!
In the end, Arsenal won 4-1, which was also the first time in their team's history that three post-00 players scored in the same Premier League match.
Leeds United suffered another rout, with a 7-0 defeat just four days earlier when they were away to Manchester City. With three rounds of the first round, Leeds United only five points ahead of the penultimate third place, and As he watched the team get closer and closer to the relegation zone, Bielsa looked sad. Last season, the Premier League team of The Lenker Giants is no longer the same as before, and this season has completely become a big gift package for BIG6.
