Arsenal Dominate Leeds 5-0 as Yokeres and Timber Shine in Premier League Blitz


Arsenal have started the English Premier League with a much stronger squad. Mikel Arteta’s team is even considered one of the favorites this time. After beating Manchester United, the Gunners have now thrashed Leeds United 5-0. Jurgen Klopp and Victor Yokeres scored a brace. However, Bukayo Saka and captain Martin Odegaard are worried about their injuries.
Arsenal had a somewhat slow start at the Emirates yesterday (Saturday). The game was a bit slow, but the excitement came with Timber’s goal in the 34th minute. He headed the ball into the net from Declan Rice’s corner. The Gunners suffered their first setback after taking the lead. Captain Odegaard was playing his milestone match (200th) today, but he was unable to play after colliding with an opponent.
Bukayo Saka doubled the lead with a brilliant shot in first-half stoppage time. The English winger cut in brilliantly from the right after Timber’s extended ball and slotted it into the top corner. Arsenal became more aggressive after the break after doubling the lead. Swedish striker Viktor Yokeres was lively in his first match at home. He gave Arsenal a third lead in the 48th minute. Entering the box from the left side, he shot the ball into the net with a powerful shot.
Sakai, who took over the captain’s armband after Odegaard’s injury, worried Arteta for the second time. He had to leave the field with a sudden injury. However, the injuries to two important stars could not slow down Arsenal’s pace. Timber scored his second and the team’s fourth goal in the 56th minute. This time, the ball came from a corner, and the Dutch defender turned around and beat several people. Even when he was falling, he did not make a mistake in pushing the ball into the net.
Arsenal’s 15-year-old midfielder Max Dauman was brought on in the 63rd minute. He became the second youngest player in English Premier League history (15 years and 235 days) and showed his talent by making a name for himself. The hosts were awarded a penalty in added time after a foul on Dauman. Where Yokeres scored his second goal with a powerful spot kick. Arsenal left the field with a big 5-0 win.
