Starting eleven comeback in the Premier League successful: National player Kai Havertz and Arsenal FC are back on track in the English championship fight. Thanks to a confident 4-0 (2-0) at Leeds United, the Gunners rehabilitated themselves from their first home defeat of the season against Manchester United (2-3) on the last matchday.

After his gala starting line-up against Qairat Almaty (3:2) in the Champions League, team manager Mikel Arteta once again placed his trust in Havertz. With the national player, who was on the field for 61 minutes, the Londoners once again benefited from their standard strength with the team of ex-Gladbach coach Daniel Farke.

Martin Zubimendi headed the lead from a corner (24′), shortly before the break it was another corner that Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow punched into his own net. Viktor Gyökeres (69th) and Gabriel Jesus (86th) ultimately ensured the clear final score.
