Ivan Toney's name will be on many Arsenal supporters' Christmas card list this year after his dramatic brace saw Brentford grab all three points against Manchester City. The result means the Gunners will be top of the Premier League on Christmas Day for the first time since 2007.
As expected, Pep Guardiola's side dominated the game with 75% possession and 29 shots but they couldn't unlock the Bees' defence and Toney's 98th-minute winner opened the door for Mikel Arteta's side to go five points clear at the top of the table this evening.
Despite starting the 2022/23 season with eye-catching results over Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea, plenty have continued to rule a first Premier League title in north London since 2004. But now, following City's defeat, many will well and truly begin to admit the Gunners' presence in the title race.
