Viktor Gyokeres scored twice as Arsenal demolished Leeds United 5-0 at the Emirates, strengthening their Premier League charge on Saturday. The result came hours after Manchester City slipped to a 2-0 home defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal struck early through Jurrien Timber&rsquo;s header before the defender assisted Bukayo Saka for the second goal. However, Saka was later forced off injured, while captain Martin Odegaard also limped out on his 200th club appearance.
Gyokeres added a clinical third after halftime, and Timber completed his brace from another corner. Teenage midfielder Max Dowman then made history, winning a stoppage-time penalty that Gyokeres converted. At 15 years and 234 days, Dowman became Arsenal&rsquo;s second-youngest Premier League player after Ethan Nwaneri.
Leeds barely threatened, with Pascal Struijk&rsquo;s header their only clear chance, as David Raya enjoyed a quiet evening.
Elsewhere, Bournemouth earned their first win of the season with a 1-0 victory over 10-man Wolves, courtesy of Marcus Tavernier&rsquo;s deflected strike. Brentford&rsquo;s record signing Dango Ouattara scored on debut in a 1-0 win over Aston Villa, while Burnley beat Sunderland 2-0 with goals from Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony.
Despite the emphatic victory, Arsenal&rsquo;s celebrations were clouded by fresh injury concerns for Saka and Odegaard.
