Thomas Frank declared Arsenal are contenders for the title after seeing his Brentford side comprehensively beaten by the Premier League leaders on Sunday afternoon.

Goals from William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus and Fábio Vieira ensured the game was in effect over by the 49th minute, meaning Arsenal returned to the summit and bounced back from their defeat at Manchester United. They have won six league matches out of seven and Frank believes they could be equipped to end a 19-year wait for the crown.
