Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale taunts Leeds fans after scrappy 1-0 victory at Elland Road as Mikel Arteta’s side extended their lead at the top of Premier League table

Aaron Ramsdale once again taunted Leeds fans at Elland Road as he revelled in Arsenal's scrappy 1-0 victory on Sunday.

In what was a chaotic match in Yorkshire, the Gunners extended their lead to four points at the top of the Premier League table thanks to Bukayo Saka's strike.

Mikel Arteta's side were outclassed in the second half, with Patrick Bamford dragging his penalty wide just after the hour-mark.

It was one of a number of chances that the Whites spurned, with the Gunners lucky Jesse Marsch's men didn't have their shooting boots on.

In dramatic scenes, Gabriel Magalhaes gave away a penalty in stoppage time after appearing to kick out at Bamford, with the Brazilian defender shown a straight red card.

But after seeing that it was Bamford that pushed into Gabriel first, referee Chris Kavanagh downgraded his red to a yellow while also giving the visitors a free-kick instead of a spot-kick to Leeds.

Arsenal held onto the win to ensure it is the club's best ever start to a top-flight campaign after winning nine out of their opening ten games.

And the relief and delight was there for all to see in Ramsdale's full-time celebrations as he wound up the Leeds fans for the second season running.

Speaking to after the match, Ramsdale was asked to name what his best save was.

To which he said: "The one with my nuts maybe? Although it took a big effect on me, I’m still feeling a bit sick now! I’m just thankful I was there today.

"I have been very critical of myself over recent games from the start of the season where goals have gone in, and there’s questions to be answered the following day.

"So to help the team out today was great.

“It’s just one of those emotions where now we’ve set our bar so high, standards-wise of how we want to play, and we didn’t reach that.

"But the overriding emotion is elation because we got three points and a 1-0 win away from home.”
