Granit Xhaka's horror tackle and other Arsenal moments missed in Leeds rout

Gabriel Martinelli's rapid rise at Arsenal continues as the youngster's clinical brace secured a stunning 4-1 victory against Leeds.

Mikel Arteta's men were at their brilliant best as they solidified their place in the top four.

The Gunners raced out to a 3-0 lead in the first half thanks to a quick-fire brace from Martinelli and a Bukayo Saka strike.

Leeds were handed a lifeline as Raphinha grabbed one back from the penalty spot before sub Emile Smith Rowe sealed the three points with a late gal.

Here are a few moments missed from the Premier League clash at Elland Road.

Lacazette does the dirty work

Lacazette might not be the most clinical striker in the world, but he gives you everything else.

The Frenchman has been excellent since coming into the side in place of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and taking the captain's armband off his teammate.

And the striker led the line in exemplary fashion once again against Leeds. He missed a golden opportunity in the opening few minutes as he wasted a one-on-one chance, but he didn't let his head drop as he set up Gabriel Martinelli for the opener.

The chance seemed gone as Arsenal lost possession but Lacazette's desire kept it alive as he won the ball back as Martinelli picked up the loose ball to make it 1-0.

It was a prime example of what Lacazette offers as Arsenal's no.9 - an unmatched work ethic, brilliant hold-up play and supreme movement.

Martinelli sends message

Gabriel Martinelli has finally arrived.

The Brazilian has shown flashes of his potential but has never been able to put it all together for a sustained period.

Until, now.

That's four goals in his last six Premier League games and the first time he has scored two goals in one game. Both strikes were out of the top drawer.

Martinelli has had his fair share of critics for not living up to his potential but he had a message for them as he cupped his ears in front of the Leeds fans as he made it 2-0.

Ref orders Arsenal stars to stop celebrating

Bukayo Saka quickly made it 3-0 as they put Leeds to the sword in the opening 45 minutes.

The winger's deflected shot nestled into the back of the net to give Arsenal a commanding lead.

And as he reeled away to celebrate, the referee instructed Arsenal's players to move away from the corner as Leeds fans' frustration boiled over.

Granit Xhaka lucky to escape red

Tempers flared on the pitch too and there could have been two red cards in the space of a few minutes to open the second half.

Granit Xhaka lunged in on Raphinha, but was lucky to escape a red and somehow didn't even get a booking considering he caught the Brazilian with his studs showing.

Moments later it was almost Déjà vu as Joe Gelhardt put in a similarly late and high challenge on Takehiro Tomiyasu, catching the full-back on the ankle.

This time the Leeds player was cautioned, but it could have easily been a more severe punishment.
