With a team full of substitutes, those led by Mikel Arteta beat those of Marcelo Bielsa and raised the games to eight without losing.
Arsenal left Argentine Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United without a League Cup on Tuesday, after beating them 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners, who have not known defeat since August, put a team with many substitutes on the field of play, but still they were imposed on the Whites with two goals in the second half.
Callum Chambers (55 ′) opened the scoring with a phantom goal threat, in a header at the far post that Illan Meslier took from behind the line and that the referee validated the receipt of the goal technology warning.
With the 1-0, Leeds blew themselves up in a terrible loan from Liam Cooper, who left Eddie Nketiah solo contra el portero. The young English player raised the ball with a lot of class over Meslier and then defined an empty goal (69 ′).
With the pass to the quarterfinals, Arsenal raises the games they have not lost to eight and expects a rival in the draw to be held this Saturday. Leeds have already accumulated three games without a win and are out in the race for the first title of the season. (D)
