"It's unbelievable what he has done again today, not only the goal because the goal is magnificent. But the movement, the quality, the finish, how he times it...and then his work-rate. It's phenomenal. One-nil is never enough against Brentford but I thought we dominated the game and created the biggest chances. Overall I am very happy."
"With most of Arteta's forwards out of action in recent weeks the Spanish midfielder has been asked to lead the line. And he has done it brilliantly, with his fine header from Ben White's cross his ninth Premier League goal of the calendar year. No other Arsenal player can match that tally, while since the start of last season, no Premier League player has scored more headed goals in all competitions than Merino's eight."
Mikel Merino scored with a header from Ben White's cross as Arsenal secured a 2-0 home win over Brentford. Merino has nine Premier League goals in the calendar year, the most for any Arsenal player, and has scored eight headed goals in all competitions since the start of last season, more than any other Premier League player. Mikel Arteta praised Merino's movement, quality, timing and work-rate as phenomenal. Arsenal were missing or saw injuries to William Saliba, Gabriel and Cristhian Mosquera, while Declan Rice limped off and will be assessed. Arsenal face Aston Villa next, where a win would extend the lead to eight points.
