00:00Arsenal started off the season with a hard-earned three points at Manchester United.
00:07Leeds United followed suit with a same scoreline victory against Everton.
00:12Something will have to give today.
00:15The Gunners are unbeaten in their last 14 matches against Leeds United.
00:19The Yorkshire side have never won at the Emirates Stadium.
00:23The omens are very much in Arsenal's favour.
00:26Arsenal against Leeds United.
00:32Let's take a look at the team news.
00:36Starting with the Gunners.
00:38There's a full debut for summer signing Noni Madweke.
00:42He's in for Gabriel Martinelli.
00:45Jurien Timber also starts as Ben White is not fit.
00:49Martin Udegaard makes his 200th Gunners appearance.
00:52And 15-year-old Max Darrowman is named amongst the substitutes.
00:59As for Leeds United, Ethan Ampadu is out injured and is replaced by Iliad Grueb.
01:06Apart from that, Daniel Barker names an unchanged side.
01:11Arsenal's first fixture of the Premier League season.
01:13And here at the Emirates, Leeds get us underway.
01:17Arsenal have a fine record against Leeds.
01:20Never lost to them here at the Emirates.
01:22And then unbeaten in the last 14 against them.
01:26Immediately, Jokere is using his physique.
01:29Arsenal have a full whip for the Emirates pitch.
01:31Nice switch to Saka.
01:32Udegaard, it's opening up for Martin Udegaard.
01:39Wide at the near post.
01:44Saka.
01:45A nice first touch.
01:46Still Saka.
01:47Pulls it back.
01:49Calafiore, who loves to get forward.
01:51Goes down.
01:53Referee not interested.
01:56Rice.
01:57Saka just can't quite get there.
01:59He's going on the outside.
02:06Find himself 1v1 with Goodmanson.
02:09Trying to get the ball into the far post.
02:16Here's the press from Arsenal.
02:17Chance here for Jokeres.
02:20Leeds gave it away.
02:21That was a good opportunity for Victor Jokeres, but it went wide.
02:26Had a little bit more time than what he thought, Tim,
02:29because it was really good pressing from Zvamendi.
02:32So Ferry just trying to play out the back.
02:34Get it to strike.
02:35Just having a bit of a panic up.
02:37Giving the ball away.
02:39Corner for Leeds.
02:41What a fantastic save from Raya.
02:44Point blank as well.
02:48That's a brilliant save from David Raya.
02:51Over comes the corner.
02:59Header comes in and Arsenal have taken the lead.
03:04Timber turns away.
03:06He guided the header in.
03:11Fantastic delivery again from Declan Rice.
03:13Obviously he got his assist last week for Calafiore's goal.
03:18Again from the corner.
03:21Just a little show there.
03:23Just sitting down back in the technical area.
03:25And you're looking at the aerial threat at the back of the far post.
03:29And Durian Timber will be one that you think would be the least dangerous.
03:32But as you see here, Durian Timber's the furthest man.
03:35He comes inside from Mendy.
03:39And it's a great header from Durian Timber.
03:43Because he's just redirected it.
03:46This really, really poor defending, especially from Joe Rodon there.
03:50Now, Vanieri.
03:52Good feet.
03:53Can't get away from the second challenge.
03:55Rice wins it back.
03:58Timber.
03:59Saka.
03:59Chance.
04:00Goal.
04:01Arsenal League 2-0.
04:02Bukayo Saka.
04:04His first chance of the game.
04:05And he rifles it in.
04:08There is never going to be any doubt.
04:10Comes out to Bukayo Saka on his unfavoured right foot.
04:14That was all created for Zubamendi.
04:16It's the pass from Zubamendi.
04:18It's the weight of the pass.
04:19The timing of the pass.
04:21Again, Leeds getting caught in possession.
04:22Trying to play out from the back.
04:24Ball comes out to Zubamendi.
04:26Can you pick the right pass?
04:27Just rolls it into Bukayo Saka.
04:28At first you think maybe he might be whipping it across the six-yard box.
04:32But Peri Peri was a bit of a chicken at the near post because it's gone straight past him.
04:39He'll be very disappointed.
04:40See this one year he got himself on the ball.
04:46Good challenge initially by Brie Eveling.
04:49Giving the ball away.
04:50Zubamendi into Durian Timbuk.
04:51Great little layoff from Durian Timbuk.
04:56So the goalkeeper will be very disappointed.
04:58He shouldn't be getting beaten near post.
05:04Jokeres got away well there.
05:07Stole a march on his defender.
05:09Jokeres coming inside.
05:11He shoots and he scores!
05:12Victor Jokeres is off the mark in his Arsenal career and they lead 3-0.
05:19Brilliant finish from Victor Jokeres.
05:21He does his trademark celebration.
05:23All that was, Tim, that was Color Fury just helping it in the channel
05:27because they know that we've got that threat now in the channel.
05:29Brilliant run from Jokeres.
05:31Just bending his run.
05:33Just getting himself on this left-hand side.
05:35There was only one thing he had on his mind.
05:38That was cutting in, getting on to his right foot.
05:40Then as he's come to his right foot, he's just smashed it past Perriot.
05:43It's near post.
05:44Give him absolutely no chance whatsoever.
05:46That will be not just exaltation from Victor Jokeres,
05:50but a massive relief as well to get himself off the mark.
06:01Arsenal coming forwards again!
06:03Winneri's in the mood as well.
06:05Arsenal looking to make it 4.
06:10It's a very good ball in.
06:14And is it going to be bundled in?
06:15It is!
06:17Arsenal have made it 4.
06:19There was an inevitability to that.
06:21Timber has got a second.
06:25Massive smile on Duran Timber's face.
06:28His reflexes are really sharp.
06:30There's a ball back up.
06:31Just with his right foot.
06:32Manages to volley past Perriot in the Leeds United goal.
06:35Timber's going to spawn you up.
06:40Listen to the reception here about to come.
06:43For all the players, of course,
06:44but Dharamon's going to get a huge ovation on the pitch.
06:52Madiweke's coming off.
06:56Replaced by Max Dharamon.
06:58He doesn't turn 16 until the end of the year.
07:02Dharamon's got so much space there.
07:04Max Dharamon, crowd erupts.
07:07He's still going, he shoots off.
07:09He's off target.
07:13Drills it in.
07:15Oh!
07:16Great strike by Dharamon.
07:19But it's not on target.
07:21Just gets a good contact with his left foot.
07:23He'll be disappointed he hasn't hit the target.
07:25Just can't quite get his left knee over the top of the ball.
07:29Push for title glory.
07:30Now, can they get a fifth goal?
07:31Warneri, Dharamon.
07:33The scare is charging up the pitch.
07:36Dharamon goes down.
07:37Is that a penalty?
07:39Referee has a look and he gives it.
07:41Arsenal have got a penalty.
07:43Won by Max Dharamon.
07:44That is Pete Max Dharamon.
07:48Because when he picks the ball up, really good play from Warneri, just getting the ball in the centre of the pitch, just put it out to Max Dharamon.
07:55And Max Dharamon, what he does is he entices challenges.
07:58Looks like there's no contact, but the contact is from Stathamon to Max Dharamon's left foot.
08:04So, Victor Jokeres, he's already scored once.
08:12This will be the icing on the cake.
08:14What's been a very, at the end, very straightforward victory.
08:21A comprehensive win.
08:22Victor Jokeres.
08:25Was there ever any doubt?
08:27Rifles it into the corner.
08:29And Arsenal have a fifth goal and a second for Jokeres.
08:33There we go, the toadmark celebration.
08:37Jokeres masked.
08:39And he actually masked the way that he put the penalty.
08:42Had no doubt in his mind, he wasn't worried about looking which way the goalkeeper was going to go.
08:46He had it in his mind, he's going to whip it across his own body with pace and power.
08:51This has been an excellent performance in the second half, where we've been ruthless.
08:59Second half has been very, very impressive.
09:01Been really ruthless during Tim.
09:04We're getting his brace.
09:07The two that can rise corners.
09:09Jokeres getting a really good individual goal, which has helped him to the channel from Calafiore.
09:15Final whistle goes.
09:17And Arsenal rampant at the end.
09:19Took half an hour to get going.
09:21But once they scored, it was one-way traffic.
09:25Curian Timber put the gunners in front.
09:27But Kiyosaka scoring right on half-time.
09:29Three goals in the second half.
09:31Two for Victor Jokeres.
09:33Big for his career.
09:34Timber also got a second.
09:36There could have been one or two more as well.
