The result extended Leeds' away losing streak to six matches, their longest since 1992-93. Arsenal's set-piece dominance was highlighted; they have scored 33 league goals from corners since 2023-24.

Farke watched on as the Gunners ran riot at the Emirates Stadium, with big-money summer signing Viktor Gyokeres scoring his first two goals for the Gunners.

And they were second-best on Saturday, ending the contest with a measly expected goals (xG) total of 0.16 from their three shots compared to Arsenal's 2.82 from their 18 shots. Despite a brilliant start to their 2025-26 Premier League campaign with a 1-0 win over Everton, Leeds were consigned to their 11th defeat to Arsenal in their last 13 away games. Farke was particularly annoyed with how his side let the Gunners score, with Arsenal using their dominance from set-pieces to their advantage.
