LONDON:

Viktor Gyokeres scored his first two Arsenal goals as the Gunners gave Leeds a harsh lesson in the step-up to the Premier League with a 5-0 win at the Emirates.

However, victory came at a cost for as Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard hobbled off injured just eight days before Arsenal's trip to Liverpool.

Arsenal edged ahead of north London rivals Tottenham at the top of the table on goal difference, as the only two sides so far with a 100 percent record from their opening two games.

Arteta has been backed to the tune of £260 million ($350 million) on seven new signings in a bid to deliver the club's first Premier League title since 2004 after finishing second for the past three years.
