Arsenal 1 - Leeds United 0: Match Report, 06/01/2020, FA Cup

Arsenal moved into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 victory over Leeds United on Monday.

Leeds United had taken the game to Arsenal straight from the whistle, pushing forward and blasting 11 shots on goal to the hosts' one in the first 25 minutes.

Patrick Bamford was unlucky not to score after 15 minutes when he collected the ball from Jack Harrison but curled his close-range shot onto the bar.

15 - Leeds attempted 15 shots in the opening 45 minutes against Arsenal, the joint most shots the Gunners have faced in the first half of a game this season (also facing 15 in the first half against Liverpool in the Premier League back in August).
