For the second time in three Premier League matches, Bruno Guimaraes has come to Arsenal’s rescue.
Having sparked their 2-0 win at Sunderland in September with the crucial first goal, the £75m summer signing came off the bench again to have a pivotal impact against Leeds on Saturday.
This time it was the winner as the Gunners came from behind for a 2-1 success in a testing encounter at Emirates Stadium, reports the BBC
But Ecuador international Piero Hincapie was carried off during the warm-down, raising concern the defender has suffered an injury.
He came on as a late substitute against Daniel Farke’s side but completed extra running after the final whistle – a practice most clubs use.

A fifth win in six league games put Mikel Arteta’s side level on points with leaders Manchester City, but their title defence has certainly not been without its scares so far.
Following on from their comprehensive 3-0 defeat at Brighton last time out, Arsenal fell behind in a league match for a third time in four league matches – and only a David Raya penalty save stopped them from trailing at Sunderland as well.
For large parts of the game against Leeds, they were nowhere near their best but, after going behind in the 55th minute, Riccardo Calafiori and Guimaraes – on his full home debut – secured an important three points.
“It was a great game of football. Leeds were brilliant for one hour,” said Ally McCoist on TNT Sports.
