Arsenal moved back into second place in the Premier League table and cut Liverpool’s title lead down to six points with a rousing comeback win at Brentford.
The undermanned Gunners kicked off 2025 in style in an entertaining London derby clash at the Gtech Community Stadium on New Year’s Day, which saw a quick-fire second-half double from Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli secure a fourth consecutive victory across all competitions after Gabriel Jesus had earlier cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo’s opener.
