Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger praised striker Thierry Henry after he scored twice against Leeds - but warned the best was yet to come.
The France striker was in blistering form as Arsenal beat Leeds 4-1 and could have scored far more but for some poor finishing in front of goal.
"I think he played at a pace where he didn't have to dig deep physically," said the Arsenal manager.
"He was not under pressure to defend much and he waited for the good opportunities to go forward."
Leeds dominated the opening stages of the match but were unable to resist Arsenal's attacking prowess.
"Every time we broke in the first half we nearly scored," added the Gunners boss.
"Every time we won the ball we were so quick to go forward and catch them on the break that we looked dangerous.
"At 3-0 it is not easy to keep the momentum going in the second half. The fourth goal completed the game but I must say I admired Leeds because they never gave up.
"We could have scored some more goals, especially in the last 10 minutes when we had many chances, but overall it is a good trip and a good result for us."
