"Mikel Arteta admitted that Arsenal weren't ruthless enough to beat a physical Brentford team as they missed the chance to restore their six-point lead over Manchester City. Noni Madueke's header broke the deadlock in west London in the second half but Keane Lewis-Potter equalised 10 minutes later from a long throw by Michael Kayode to set up a grandstand finale that saw both sides spurn chances to win it."
"They are exceptional at what they do. The chaos that is in and around that ball is very, very difficult to defend. Asked whether he was concerned that City have started to cut the gap, he added: We are going to be preparing to win every single match and the only thing that we can do is focus on that and raise the levels collectively."
Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford after Noni Madueke's second-half header was cancelled by Keane Lewis-Potter from a Michael Kayode long throw. The result prevented Arsenal from restoring a six-point lead over Manchester City; the lead now stands at four points with 12 games remaining. Arsenal missed William Saliba and Kai Havertz through illness and injury and substituted Eberechi Eze at half-time as he continues to adapt after his summer transfer. Arsenal struggled to cope with Brentford's set-piece chaos and failed to be ruthless in both boxes. Brentford strengthened their hold on seventh place.
