00:05Well those are the two teams playing for you in match of the day.
00:08Leeds United top of the first division with Chelsea with 42 points
00:11and Arsenal ninth in the table with 30 points.
00:15So it really has all the makings of a very close game between these two sides.
00:18So let's have a look at the home side first of all then.
00:21Arsenal and there at right half is Neil still.
00:24He's in the side because ironically enough he injured McClintock, the star right half,
00:30ten days ago in a practice match.
00:32And they've won their last three home games here at Highbury so
00:35they're doing very well on their home ground.
00:38The visiting side this afternoon, Leeds United, have won six of their last away fixtures.
00:44They have a very strong halfback line in Bremner, Charlton and Hunter.
00:50And Charlton of course is the man that has scored many more goals than his brother Bobby
00:53in the Manchester United forward line.
00:55So it all looks fair really for a very interesting game to these talented sides,
01:01particularly in the Leeds side.
01:02They're playing remarkably well at the present moment.
01:04The skippers are in the centre of the park tossing up for the start of this game.
01:08So we'll go down and see which of these two sides are going to kick off.
01:13Arsenal then kicking off in this first division game here at Highbury.
01:18against Leeds United, Arsenal in their normal traditional colour of course of red and white
01:23and Leeds in all white.
01:28Leeds undoubtedly going for their seventh away game as a loss.
01:32They've won their last four and drawn two so they've got a pretty formidable away record.
01:38Bremner, number four.
01:41That is a throw in to Leeds.
01:46Armstrong.
01:48And that'll be a throw in I'm afraid, yes.
01:51So afraid because it wasn't a particularly good pass by Neil there.
02:06You are.
02:11Clark.
02:13Armstrong.
02:22Collins there.
02:26Neil just getting up robbing story but gives away a throw in to Leeds.
02:31Leeds a very confident side indeed.
02:33They work very well together as a team.
02:36There are no weak spots in their side.
02:39Bell, long one across there.
02:41Giles.
02:41And it's the first one.
02:43Well, my goodness me.
02:45Clark just couldn't get up.
02:49There he is.
02:50Giles, the outside right that's nodded.
02:54Leeds one goal to nil in the lead after some 11 minutes play.
03:06Anderson just moving it inside to court.
03:14Leeds one goal to nil in the lead after some 11 minutes play.
03:15And Baker just letting it go through to Radford.
03:17Radford tying it.
03:18And it just hits the side rigging.
03:21Very good effort indeed by Radford on the turn.
03:35And a speed kick there, nodded out by Bell and it's Collins.
03:43Cut off well by Ewer.
03:47To Anderson.
03:50Caught.
03:53Armstrong, Armstrong now.
03:56Putting it hard into the seat.
03:58Oh, Hunter completely missed it.
04:02Neil.
04:04Bell nodding it out.
04:05And Easton slipping as he was going in on that.
04:09Bremner to cook for Easton.
04:17Giles.
04:18And this leads forward line.
04:19Change round continually.
04:21The...
04:23Giles pops up anywhere along the forward line.
04:25And this is certainly causing the Arsenal defence to change its mind considerably.
04:32Clearly when it comes to Collins.
04:33His reading and slowing down and speeding the game up is really good indeed.
04:39Anderson.
04:42To Easton.
04:44Easton.
04:46Topping it through for Baker.
04:47Baker's starting there.
04:48And it's a penalty.
04:54Well, I would have thought...
04:57It's a very harsh decision because the ball had gone past Baker.
05:01In actual fact.
05:03Before...
05:04Before the left full-back...
05:08Bell actually touched him.
05:15It ought to be...
05:18Easton.
05:20To take this penalty.
05:24And I think...
05:25The referee having a word with Sprake saying that he must not move...
05:29Until the ball is played.
05:30And it'll be Easton to take the kick.
05:32So let's just see what Easton does with it.
05:36Curled it into the bottom corner.
05:38Easton.
05:4324 minutes gone then in the first half.
05:45And it's Easton there that has put Arsenal back on level terms.
05:48The score.
05:49Arsenal 1.
05:49Leeds United 1.
05:51Collins, unsure, intended it to go much higher and farther than that.
05:54And it's...
05:55Now with Easton.
05:57On to Hayer.
05:58Hayer now.
05:58Moving up as a forward.
05:59And it's a good quick-through pass there.
06:01Can Baker get onto it?
06:03Oh!
06:03He just turned it past the post.
06:07Well, they all look very easy, of course.
06:10But he's got about three things flashing through his mind at the same time.
06:14Can I turn it in the net?
06:15Are they going to tackle me?
06:16Can I get it underneath the bar?
06:20Sprake very happy there to be placing the ball down for a goal kick.
06:23And so on.
06:36You are running it for Armstrong.
06:44a very wild kick there by
06:52Bremner being spoken to by the referee
06:58certainly was a very wild kick
07:03caught Easton's knee
07:04well then
07:05for all intents and purposes he should be
07:12very very sore for some few minutes after this
07:25how to Anderson
07:30referee waving play on because
07:33Weston is in possession
07:35comes across to Giles
07:40and that's a good shot there and it dipped a bit as Burns thought it was going over the
07:46bar I think and then had to just flat-handed across over the bar
07:53Neil nodding it out
07:58a foul by Hunter on Baker free kick to Arsenal
08:03and there is the half-time whistle with the score
08:08Arsenal 1
08:09Leeds United
08:11Leeds United 1
08:11control
08:12Hunter
08:14to Charlton
08:21Charlton now going
08:23whoo and eventually got a penalty and it's in the net
08:25what a magnificent run there by Charlton but I think he's saying that
08:34story I think it was that turned it into the net but the linesman has given story offshore
08:51I think there was more of a stumble and it's Bell now coming onto it trying a hard shot across
08:55the goal
08:57story and this time it's caught it gets it away hook back again and Giles just picks it past the
09:02post but I think
09:04there's been an infringement there handball I think by story
09:10there as to who would take the penalties if there had have been one
09:13at least it doesn't look like he could really step up and strike it
09:19caught
09:21Radford
09:22and
09:24Baker just got his foot to it
09:27Charlton telling Cooper that he should have marked Radford
09:31they had come of it is but it's Baker's turn I think to be offside this time
09:35yes
09:40Collins
09:43must be a foul by Howe and Hunter
09:47I think Hunter
09:48I think Hunter half expected this and he was able to ride it a bit but he's still limping just
09:52a little there
10:07Charlton and Howe nodding it out
10:10Hunter
10:12to Collins
10:15and that's good
10:16second one for Leeds
10:17a good
10:18quick first time shot there by Western
10:21well might he look pleased with himself because he took it remarkably well
10:25wrong foot
10:26the Leeds now go two goals to one in the lead
10:31after just 27 minutes play in the second half
10:34the scorer Western at number eight
10:37personal how number two
10:39taking the throw
10:39to Baker
10:46Anderson to Howe
10:47Howe pushing it in there Bremner
10:49not quite clearly at Collins
10:51I think it's on its way Anderson
10:57Armstrong trying a shot there and a good a very good save indeed by Sprake there because
11:04Charlton patting him on the back and William White because he was completely blinded by that shot
11:10and talked of that how that Charlton really should be giving a trial as England
11:17and he's onside he was perfectly onside their story but whether he's got enough
11:21pace to get away from them I don't know and it's just hit the post
11:28no wonder stories
11:30through his arm up in disgust there because it hit the inside of the post
11:34and boggled along the line and then came out
11:37and there's a let off there for Arsenal
11:41again one of those quick breakaways after pressure
11:51Bradford on to Armstrong but Hunter punching it on up now to Western
12:13Bremner getting it clear
12:25Bremner to Collins
12:28and there is the final whistle with the score then
12:33Arsenal one Leeds United two
12:39Leeds now just waiting just to see how Chelsea got on this afternoon to see whether they might have gone
12:43back to the top of the first division
12:45you
