Arsenal book place in FA Cup fourth-round with tough win over Leeds

Arsenal have advanced to the FA Cup fourth-round with an enthralling 1-0 win over Leeds United.

The Championship side showed their promotion chops with an ambitious and tireless display at the Emirates.

Marcelo Bielsa's side dominated the first-half proceedings and ended the match with 58% of the possession.

But only the scoreboard matters and that's where Arsenal made the difference, thanks to Reiss Nelson's 55th minute strike.

Mikel Arteta's side were hungrier in the second stanza, eventually grinding out a 1-0 victory to progress in the competition.

They will face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in the fourth-round.
