"Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta says his side lacked composure and discipline as the Gunners missed out on a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League by spurning a lead in a 1-1 draw at Brentford. Noni Madueke headed the visitors in front in the 61st minute, only for Keane Lewis-Potter to equalise 10 minutes later following a long throw before Brentford threatened a late winner and Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli was denied in a one-on-one during added time."
""It is really difficult to dominate the game for long periods because Brentford are really good," Arteta said after his side dropped points for the fourth time in six league matches. "When the ball is in or around the byline, in the channel or when you put the ball out for a throw-in, it is like a casino. Anything can happen and something really bad can happen. You have to navigate that and, after the first 15 minutes, we started to dominate.""
Arsenal lacked composure and discipline, failing to secure a six-point lead after drawing 1-1 at Brentford. Noni Madueke put Arsenal ahead in the 61st minute with a header, but Keane Lewis-Potter equalised ten minutes later from a flicked-on long throw. Brentford threatened a late winner and Gabriel Martinelli was denied in a one-on-one during added time. Brentford's set-piece effectiveness is supported by coaching continuity, with Keith Andrews previously their set-piece coach and Stephen Rice appointed as set-piece expert. Arsenal have dropped points four times in their last six league matches.
