Full-time. Arsenal 4-2 Leeds. The Gunners made things a bit more difficult than they needed to be, but don't let that tarnish an excellent evening for Mikel Arteta's men. An Aubameyang hat-trick and a Bellerin strike earn all three points, with the trio of Odegaard, Saka and Smith Rowe all impressing. Thanks for joining us, we'll see you again soon.

88'- Final change for Arsenal as Holding replaces the brilliant Ceballos. 4-2

83'- POST! Saka gets in down the right and moves the ball onto his left foot, but his low shot comes back off the post. 4-2

78'- Second change for Arsenal as Elneny replaces Odegaard. 4-2

76'- CHANCES! At one end Leeds see appeals for a penalty waved away after a challenge on Bamford, and then down the other Aubameyang sweeps an effort onto the post. 4-2

69'- GOAL LEEDS. They couldn't, could they? Roberts gets free down the left and cuts back for Costa who turns the ball home. Arsenal really must be careful here. 4-2

62'- First change for Arsenal. The excellent Smith Rowe is replaced by Willian. 4-1

61'- CHANCE! Aubameyang surges towards the Leeds box and then slips through Odegaard whose powerful strike forces a save from Odegaard. The flag then goes up for offside. 4-1

59'- GOAL LEEDS. Struijk meets a corner and powers a header past Leno. 4-1

52'- Just seen a replay for the fourth goal and if Smith Rowe means that ball for Aubameyang then it's outrageously good. 4-0

47'- GOAALLLL ARSENAL! AUBAMEYANG HAT-TRICK! Game over as Aubameyang gets his third. Saka does well to win the ball back on the edge of the box and finds Smith Rowe. His cross-cum-shot finds the skipper at the back post and he nods home with ease. 4-0.

46'- Back underway at the Emirates. 3-0

Half-time. Arsenal 3-0 Leeds. What a first 45 minutes for the Gunners. An Aubameyang brace and a Bellerin strike has Arteta's men well in control at the Emirates.

39'- PENALTY ARSENAL! This one will stand! Meslier is caught on the ball as Saka closes him down and the goalkeeper chops down the youngster. Stonewall penalty this time. 1-0

35'- NO PENALTY! Saka is bundled over in the box by Cooper and the referee gives a penalty, but that decision is reversed after a VAR check - somehow. VAR is joke. 1-0

28'- CHANCE! It should be 2-0! Luiz makes a brilliant driving run from the back and then gets the ball back from Saka in the box. His cut back picks out Aubameyang who looks certain to score, but ex-Gunner Ayling makes a superb block to run the shot behind. 1-0 it remains.

19'- Neat play from Leeds ends with Klich firing over from the edge of the area. 1-0

13'- GOAAALLLL ARSENAL! The Gunners have a deserved lead and Aubameyang is the man who gets the goal!

12'- CHANCE! Opportunity for Leeds as Harrison puts a cross in towards the near post and Bamford meets it, but Leno makes a comfortable save. 0-0
