Arsenal significantly boosted their hopes of a top-four finish by beating a 10-man Leeds United 2-1 at the Emirates.
The Gunners took an early lead through Eddie Nketiah, who punished Peacocks goalkeeper Illan Meslier's howler with an instinctive finish after just five minutes. It didn't take long for the red-hot Nketiah his second, profiting from the excellent Gabriel Martinelli 's good work out wide.
Martinelli was involved in the game's next flashpoint, as Luke Ayling flew in two-footed on him and received a straight red card after a VAR check for his horrific challenge. Diego Llorente pulled one back midway through an uninspiring second half but it was too little, too late for the strugglers.
