End of 2nd Half
FULL TIME
Leeds smack the post and the bar over and over again but this one is over and 10-man Arsenal have stolen a point for their first draw of the season.
Leeds bossed it, but it's honours even.
90+5'
POST!
Raphinha! Again!
He's smacked the post on the angle. How have Leeds not scored?
90+4'
Everyone goes down injured all over the place.
Saka, then Ceballos, they're dropping like flies.
We had five minutes of stoppage time but it could be up to seven now.
90'
A pause in play as leno receives some treatment on his elbow. He has to change jersey after shedding a little blood.
88'
POST!
It's just not Leeds' day.
Bamford smacks the post with a header after a delightful cross from Poveda.
85'
CLOSE!
Arsenal again!
Saka rounds the keeper this time but Meslier recovers to block the shot anyway.
Suddenly, Arsenal really could be leading this one.
83'
Huge chance for Arsenal here as Saka does simply brilliantly to weave his way through two or three Leeds defenders and set Aubameyang through on the counter.
The striker bears down on goal and cuts in on his right but Cooper's dives to block the shot.
Shouts for a handball but it's smacked right at him. VAR waves it away.
80'
BAR!
Rodrigo cuts in again and bends an effort on to the crossbar.
Leno was beaten. Was that the chance?
Harrison is replaced by Poveda for the final 10 minutes.

Arsenal have a rare chance to make something happen with a corner but it's a dreadful delivery from Nelson. This has descended into a scrappy nothing sort of battle now.
Someone make something happen!
77'
CLOSE!
Rodrigo blats an effort from 30 yards out and it's just a yard wide.
Leeds running out of time.
74'
No doubt about it, Leeds are finding this harder now against 10 men.
There's so many men to get through and Arsenal know what they want now.
Xhaka almost spoils their plans though after giving the ball away in midfield, and Raphinha finds space on the right to lash a shot into Tierney's shins.
More blocks than a game of tetris.
71'
Wrong man, right place.
Leeds go 2009 Barcelona popping the ball into the box.
And Ayling is suddenly in space five yards out but his first touch is so poor and lets Arsenal off the hook.
He’s immediately replaced by Rodrigo.

Bamford almost squeezes his way into a shooting position but is closed out by three blue shirts.
Raphinha now loses possession and Arsenal are charging on the counter. Saka makes great ground and his cross is heading for Aubameyang but for Cooper's clearing header.
SEEING RED
65'
GREAT SAVE!
Raphinha slips a pass through two Arsenal defenders to Dallas whose shot is heading for the top corner but for a diving save by Leno.
63'
If anything Leeds have had to slow things down as Arsenal are sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
The weight of expectation is on them to win now.
The Gunners only chances now will come on the counter and Aubameyang actually has a snapshot saved but Meslier was never really in any danger.
59'
Kalvin Phillips is down and up again but that was cause for concern for Bielsa. There star man has just returned.
It's all Leeds up against a blue wall of Gunners now.
Can they breakthrough?
55'
Oh dear.
Things have just gone from bad to worse from Arsenal and I was just about to say they looked a little better.
They’re in all sorts of trouble now.

RED CARD! (Pepe)
Here comes VAR.
Alioski is down…and Pepe is in trouble.
The winger appears to have head butted the Alioski in retaliation to a tackle.
Anthony Taylor takes a quick look at the monitor and duly sends off Pepe.

Pepe fails to clear the first man with a free-kick from deep. Sigh.
That said, Arsenal do look a little brighter in the first five minutes.
