Arsenal 4-1 Leeds: Gunners re-extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points as Gabriel Jesus nets twice on return to the starting line-up, with Ben White and Granit Xhaka also scoring in comfortable victory

Arsenal re-extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to eight points with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Leeds on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners had seen their gap to second-place Manchester City cut to five points after the champions beat Liverpool 4-1 in the lunchtime kick-off, but a brace from Gabriel Jesus on his return to the starting XI in the Premier League helped them to a comfortable victory.

Bukayo Saka had to settle for a spot on the bench after struggling with illness, but Ben White and Granit Xhaka were also on the scoresheet as Mikel Arteta's side took a step closer to lifting their first Premier League title in nearly 20 years.
