Samri Nasri put the Gunners ahead in the fifth minute after latching onto an Andrey Arshavin cross.

Bacary Sagna then doubled the visitors’ advantage on 35 minutes when blasting home a loose ball after Andy O’Brien had tackled Nicklas Bendtner.
But Bradley Johnson hit a long distance piledriver two minutes later to give Leeds renewed hope.

Dutchman Van Persie was introduced into the action and scored the decisive header from a Bendtner cross with 14 minutes remaining to book a clash with Huddersfield in the next round.
