Mikel Arteta said he was left praying Arsenal would not suffer a late defeat after his players missed the chance to restore their six-point cushion over Manchester City following a 1-1 draw at Brentford.
Arsenal appeared on course to take a crucial victory when Noni Madueke headed home in the 61st minute. However, Brentford bounced back just 10 minutes later after Keane Lewis-Potter struck from Michael Kayode’s long throw.
