Leeds unbeaten run ends at Arsenal but Farke's side leave with heads held high

It is a mark of the progress Leeds United have made that Daniel Farke was heartbroken to leave the home of the Premier League champions empty-handed. Last season, they lost 4-0 and 5-0 to Arsenal. At the Emirates on Saturday, Leeds were comfortably the better side for nearly an hour, limiting Arsenal to just five shots before James Justin fired Farke's side ahead after 55 minutes.

In the immediate aftermath of their opener, Leeds kept pushing and Dominic Calvert-Lewin was a whisker away from doubling the advantage from Jayden Bogle's cross. If that goes in, the outcome might have been completely different.

Farke set Leeds up to go for it at Arsenal, spurred on by Brighton's blueprint before the international break, and he was nearly rewarded for his ambition. The unbeaten run might be over, but Leeds can keep looking up — they should be considered European contenders, writes Sky Sports' Zinny Boswell.
