15-year-old Dowman shines

Arsenal had to rely on their threat from set-pieces to grind out a 1-0 win at Manchester United on the opening weekend of the season. Despite a dominant start to the game, that was how the the Leeds defence was prised open. Timber had scored just twice in 52 Arsenal appearances before Saturday. The Dutch international doubled that tally as he firstly got his head to Rice's inviting delivery on 34 minutes. Odegaard then made his departure after appearing to injure his shoulder falling heavily to the turf. Saka soon had the Emirates crowd back on their feet when he drilled Timber's pass high past Lucas Perri with his supposedly weaker right foot. Gyokeres had at one point been a target for Leeds during his days with Coventry in the Championship before making the move to Portugal. The Swede's ability to succeed in the Premier League has been questioned despite his prolific record of 97 goals in 102 games for Sporting. 

"That is why we acted in the market the way that we have done because you have so many games, anything can happen. "It happened to two of our most important players -- we already lost Kai -- so we are going to need everybody at his best and a lot of luck as well to not lose others."
