Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw with Brentford at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday as they squandered the chance to go eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Leandro Trossard's first goal since his £21million move from Brighton looked as though it would be enough to return the Gunners to winning ways after two straight defeats. However, Ivan Toney was in the right place at the right time eight minutes later to continue Brentford's astounding unbeaten run in the league to 10 games.
The draw presents Manchester City with the chance to cut the gap between themselves and Mikel Arteta's side when they face Aston Villa on Sunday. Pep Guardiola's men will be searching for a valuable victory ahead of Wednesday's highly-anticipated clash with Arsenal.
