The story, neutrally told

Mixed · 2Arsenal came back from a goal down to beat Leeds United 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday 10 October, as the Premier League resumed after a lengthy international break. Mixed · 2Leeds took the lead in the second half when James Justin scored from a low cross by Gabriel Gudmundsson; the Guardian puts this at the 55th minute. Mixed · 2Riccardo Calafiori equalised for Arsenal a few minutes later, finishing after a header or knock-down from Ben White following a Noni Madueke cross.

Mixed · 2Bruno Guimarães, brought on by Mikel Arteta in a triple substitution, scored the winner in the 70th minute with a low shot into the far corner from the edge of the area, after Declan Rice backheeled the ball to him. Left · 1The first half was tight and Leeds had the better chances, with David Raya making saves to deny Jayden Bogle and Gudmundsson, while Kai Havertz headed straight at James Trafford from eight yards for Arsenal. Mixed · 2The result lifted Arsenal to second on 15 points, behind Manchester City on goal difference, while Leeds are fifth on nine points; the Evening Standard describes Arsenal as level on points with City, and Al Jazeera's headline says they moved level with City at the top.

Left · 1The Guardian noted Arsenal started five Englishmen for the first time since 1999, and that the defence looks more vulnerable than last season; it also said the result ended Leeds' unbeaten run. Mixed · 2The win was Arsenal's fifth in six league games this season, and it followed a 3-0 defeat at Brighton last month, their first of the campaign, before the three-week international break. Right · 1Mikel Arteta, who signed a new contract this week, said Arsenal had learned lessons from an "extremely average" display at Brighton and had shown personality and courage against Leeds, who had been unbeaten in the league.

Centre · 3Accounts of the equaliser differ in detail: The National says James Trafford fumbled Calafiori's shot into his net and rates the Leeds goalkeeper 4, while Al Jazeera has an unmarked Calafiori finishing past Trafford after being set up by White, and the Evening Standard has him poaching in the six-yard box. Mixed · 2Guimarães, who joined from Newcastle this summer, said after the match that it felt "unbelievable" to score in his first official home game; Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino also started on the bench. Left · 1Al Jazeera noted that attention had returned to the pitch after the announcement that Manchester City had been found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League financial rules; City, who have a game in hand, visit Liverpool on Sunday.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
