Summary

Ian Stone is joined by The Athletic's Amy Lawrence and Michael Cox as Mikel Arteta guided Arsenal to their best-ever Premier League start at a powercut-hit Elland Road.

Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the game to see off Leeds United with Arsenal extending their lead to four points at the top of the table, making it nine wins from 10 at the start of the new season.

As well as the win at Leeds, the evolution of Mikel Arteta as manager of Arsenal is also analysed before also touching on Thursday's Europa League clash with Ruud van Nistelrooy's PSV Eindhoven.
