Arsenal took firm control of their Premier League home opener on Saturday, racing to a 3–0 advantage over Leeds United by the 60-minute mark at the Emirates Stadium. Bukayo Saka doubled the hosts’ early lead just before the interval, latching onto a precise pass from defender Jurrien Timber and driving in his first league goal of the 2025-26 campaign, which also ended a 10-match scoring drought in the competition. The afternoon’s loudest cheer, however, greeted new signing Viktor Gyokeres, who cut in from the left to bury a low shot into the far corner for his maiden Arsenal goal on his home debut. The Swedish forward joined this summer and had earlier missed a clear chance before finding the net. Leeds struggled to create clear openings, leaving Arsenal on course for back-to-back wins to start the season barring an unlikely turnaround.
