Arsenal player ratings vs Leeds as Gabriel Jesus causes chaos and Gabriel Martinelli superb

Arsenal maintained their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table as they sent the perfect response following Manchester City's win against Liverpool. The Gunners cruised to victory against Leeds United with goals from Gabriel Jesus, Ben White and Granit Xhaka.

Here are football.london reporter Kaya Kaynak's Arsenal player ratings following the crucial result on Saturday afternoon.

Leandro Trossard: Seven assists now for the Belgian since his arrival in January. That is simply outstanding. Maybe not at his most influential best on the right wing, but that shows his versatility and how much of an asset he is to the side. 7.

Gabriel Jesus: The exact full Premier League return the Brazilian would have hoped for. Missed a chance early but bounced back to score two, even if he may have dived for the penalty. Brought the chaos Arteta wanted. 8.

Gabriel Martinelli: A real threat down the left with his direct running that Luke Ayling couldn't live with. An excellent assist for Ben White's goal. 8.

Tchouameni on radar

Arsenal are keen to sign Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni in the summer, according to reports in Spain.

Nacional have claimed that Eduardo Camavinga's form this campaign has forced compatriot Tchouameni to become content with appearances off the bench.

Haaland boost

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland missed yesterday's 4-1 win over Liverpool due to injury, Pep Guardiola confirmed.

World Cup winner Julian Alvarez led the line against Liverpool in his place. Speaking to BT Sport about the 22-year-old, Guardiola said: " He’s much, much better, but not for today. He didn’t feel good, no risk."
