Match report: Arsenal 1-0 Leeds United

A stirring second-half display and a scruffy finish from Reiss Nelson saw us edge past Leeds in the Emirates FA Cup.

The Championship side had the upper hand before the break and were inches away from taking the lead when Patrick Bamford's shot hit the crossbar.

That was one of a number of presentable chances that Leeds' squandered, while Emi Martinez did brilliantly to claw away an effort from Ezgjan Alioski.

We needed to regroup at half-time and we did, emerging with a determination that was not so evident in the first half.

It showed in our football.
