Thomas Frank has admitted that Arsenal could challenge for the Premier League title this season after his side were soundly beaten in West London on Sunday afternoon.
Arsenal were victorious thanks to goals from William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira in West London on Saturday afternoon to return to the top of the Premier League table. Manchester City had been top following their win against Wolves yesterday but the Gunners returned to the summit today.
This has seen them draw praise from Bees boss Thomas Frank, who spoke about Arsenal's potential title chances following the impressive victory for Mikel Arteta's side.

The Danish boss compared Arsenal favourable with Manchester City in the wake of their Sunday afternoon fixture, saying: "They are the in-form team with Man City who were top of the table and have gone back to the top of the table and to get anything we had to perform at a 10/10.
"You could see how much it meant to Arsenal, they knew it was difficult. Look how they celebrated after the first goal, big huddle, long time down there. You see Jesus going down with cramp at the end and that shows they had to work very, very hard. I wish them luck to be a title contender."
Frank also reserved praise for Arsenal's young stars, saying that they have an exciting set of players with the foundation of a top class team, saying: "From what I’ve seen in the 7 games, I think they’ve been very good and they’ve won fair and square in six and the other game could have gone either way at Man United.
"Jesus up there, wow what a player and I know it’s nothing against City but sometimes it clicks in different environment. Saka and Odegaard are a year older, Odegaard what a player. Then I must say Saliba, he’s going to be a full international player for France, I’m sure. He’ll play in the starting line-up for that team and that’s a strong international team."
