The story, neutrally told

Mixed · 2Bruno Guimaraes scored the winning goal for Arsenal against Leeds, coming off the bench on his home debut for the club. Centre · 1The Evening Standard said the goal finished a move involving Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice, and was the decisive moment in a tough match for Arsenal. Centre · 1Asked whether the goal showed the £75million signing was money well spent, Arteta said Guimaraes had not been at the required level in the 3-0 defeat at Brighton, where he made his first Premier League start and was withdrawn, and that he could still be much better.

Centre · 1Arteta said the standard applies to every player: "Every week, every game, every minute, every action, you have to be at that level." He said he demands the same of himself and that doing so would raise standards and make Arsenal a better team. Centre · 1Arteta explained Guimaraes's limited league starts by pointing to his travel with Brazil to Australia and India during the international break and his lack of a pre-season, saying he is "still not in the best condition". Centre · 1Guimaraes started only one of Brazil's three matches in the break. His Arsenal start has also been hindered by minor injuries, after an extended summer break following the World Cup and a move to the club only a couple of weeks before the season began.

Centre · 1Arteta noted Arsenal play again on Tuesday night and then on Sunday, and said the squad must manage heavy demands well.
