"Arsenal's lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League stands at just four points after Mikel Arteta's title-chasing side were held to a 1-1 draw at Brentford. Noni Madueke headed Arsenal in front on the hour mark with a fine header. But the hosts were back on terms only 10 minutes later when Keane Lewis-Potter struck following Michael Kayode's long throw."
"However, substitute Gabriel Martinelli might have then won it for Arsenal only to be denied by Caoimhín Kelleher in a frantic end to the match. Just four days ago at Liverpool, Pep Guardiola's side were six minutes away from falling nine points behind their rivals, but they are now within striking range. And Arsenal, runners-up for the past three seasons, will still have to visit the Etihad Stadium in April as they look to end their 22-year wait for the title."

Brentford equalised 10 minutes later through Keane Lewis-Potter from Michael Kayode's long throw. Brentford looked the more likely to score late on and Igor Thiago missed a stoppage-time chance. Gabriel Martinelli nearly won it for Arsenal but was denied by Caoimhín Kelleher. Manchester City remain within striking range and Arsenal must still travel to the Etihad in April while pursuing a first title in 22 years.
