Leeds United 1 Arsenal 3
The English Premier League powerhouse made clear its intentions after just five minutes when Samir Nasri coolly poked the ball past United goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to hand the Londoners the lead.
Defender Bacary Sagna double Arsenal's lead in the 35th minute with a powerful strike, with Schmeichel unable to stop the shot from flying into the top left corner of the net despite getting one hand to the ball.
Wenger's men did not have it all their own way, however, after Leeds midfielder Bradley Johnson scored a screamer in the 37th minute from long range to give the home fans plenty to sing about and Leeds the impetus in their hunt for an equaliser.
But the injection of star pair Fabregas and Robin van Persie on 71 minutes proved an inspired move from Wenger, with the latter heading home a well-weighted Nicklas Bendtner cross five minutes later to seal the win for Arsenal.
