"Mikel Arteta's side were looking to respond to Manchester City's 3-0 win over Fulham on Wednesday, but were far from their best at the Gtech Community Stadium. Noni Madueke gave Arsenal the lead from their first attempt on target just after the hour, only for Keane Lewis-Potter to score a header of his own 10 minutes later. Igor Thiago and Gabriel Martinelli both went close at either end late on in a gripping end to the contest, but the points were ultimately shared."
"Without key defender William Saliba due to illness, Arsenal required David Raya's fine save from Thiago's header. Arsenal improved early in the second half when Martin Odegaard replaced Eberechi Eze, with Madueke heading in from Piero Hincapie's delivery to give the visitors the lead. But Lewis-Potter got on the end of a Michael Kayode long throw into the box, which was flicked on by Sepp van den Berg, to earn Brentford a point they will feel they deserved."
Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League is four points after a 1-1 draw with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. Noni Madueke headed Arsenal ahead just after the hour following Piero Hincapie's delivery after Martin Odegaard replaced Eberechi Eze. Keane Lewis-Potter equalised from a Michael Kayode long throw flicked on by Sepp van den Berg. William Saliba missed the match through illness, and David Raya made a crucial first-half save from Igor Thiago. Arsenal registered an expected goals (xG) of 0.6 and did not record a shot on target until the 61st minute.
