Noni Madueke made use of the time wisely. With around 20 minutes until kick-off, he saw Bukayo Saka go down the Leeds tunnel injured. A tap on the shoulder and he was in the attacking drills with the other Arsenal starters.

His inclusion in Arsenal's starting XI at Elland Road was only confirmed within 10 minutes of the start, but around 40 minutes later he'd picked up a goal and an assist - his first Premier League goal involvements since swapping Chelsea for Arsenal.

"He was ready," said Mikel Arteta about his stand-in winger. "Because you cannot do that in two minutes.

"The way he prepares, the way he's waiting for an opportunity, and it paid off today because it really impacted him."

Making use of the time has been a theme of Madueke's season so far. The winger was brought in as an option on both right and left flanks for Arsenal - but he's needed to be patient due to the form of Saka and Leandro Trossard in those roles. Opportunities have been limited.
