Arsenal wasted the chance to restore their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Brentford on Thursday.
Noni Madueke’s second-half header was cancelled out by Keane Lewis-Potter.
Brentford were the better side in the first half but could not take advantage of a nervy Arsenal start, with goalkeeper David Raya forced to make a sharp save from Igor Thiago.
Arsenal took the lead in the 61st minute through Madueke, who soared above Rico Henry and nodded Piero Hincapie’s ball back across goal and into the net.

Brentford levelled 10 minutes later, when Michael Kayode’s long throw was flicked to the back post where Lewis-Potter sent a thunderous header into the top corner.
The draw was a fair result and lifted Arsenal on to 57 points from 26 games, four ahead of Manchester City.
Brentford are seventh on 40 points, four behind fifth-placed Chelsea and remain on course to qualify for European football for the first time.
