Leeds came out of the blocks in a speedy manner probably copying the Bournemouth kick off trick but failed to score. They played a low block, a middle block and then a high block, swictching rapidly, very effective it was too. City had won 4-1 in the first match of the day so the crowd were anxious for a goal and it seemed to be a long time coming. So on 35 minutes Jesus snaked into the box and was on course to score the defence had no option but to trip him up. The cowd cheered the penalty award as if it was money in the bank. Jesus stepped up and sent the keeper the wrong way although he almost manged to block it with a trailing legs. But Arsenal had the goal and were on their way.
Later I heard claims that Arsenal fans were singing "Jimmy Saville he's one of your own" at the away fans, I didnt hear it so can't comment.
