In January, Arsenal dropped as many as seven points in a three-game winless streak.
At the same time, its league lead had shrunk to just four points.
On Saturday it was important that Mikel Arteta poppoo gets the negative tube cut. Already the opening period at Elland Road gave the answer, as the Gunners went to the dressing room with a 2-0 half-time lead in their pockets.
First at about half an hour Noni Madueke centered and Martín Zubimendi gave the visitors the lead.
A good ten minutes later, Madueke gave a corner kick, and the Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow boxed it into his own net.
At the same time, Arsenal’s internal power statistics got a new top name. With the Leeds match, the mysterious OG (own goal) became the best scorer of the North Londoners together By Viktor Gyökeres and by Leandro Trossardi with.
All three had five league goals on their account at that point.
The statistics show in a harsh way that Arsenal does not have a goal gun that meets the standards. So far, it hasn’t hindered the team’s championship march.
At the same time, it’s good to remember that Chelsea Frank Lampard (in the 2004–05 season) and Manchester City İlkay Gündoğan (2020–21) have won the league championship with the lowest number of goals.
Both Lampard and Gündoğan hit 13 times in their championship seasons.
There are not even ten goal scorers in Arsenal’s ranks on a steady pace table. If “own goal” doesn’t take a wild turn for the rest of the season.
In the second period, Gyökeres directed Arsenal’s third goal with his leg. At the same time, the Swede took the top spot in Arsenal’s own power statistics by himself with six full hits.
The final numbers of the 4–0 away win were recorded by the brass striker Gabriel to Jesuswhose balance from this season shows only two league goals.
City leads the scoring statistics of the entire Premier League Erling Haalandwhich has already been hit 20 times.
