Arsenal's lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League stands at just four points after Mikel Arteta's 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 ten minutes later when Keane Lewis-Potter headed home following Michael Kayode's long throw. Following their equaliser, Brentford, who knew a win would take them above Liverpool in the table, looked the more likely to score with Igor Thiago wasting a golden chance in stoppage time.
However, substitute Gabriel Martinelli might have then won it for Arsenal only to be denied by Caoimhin Kelleher in a frantic end to the match. The result means Gunners have missed the chance to restore their six-point lead at the summit while the Bees have now reached the magic 40 points mark in their quest for European qualification.
