Arsenal dropped two valuable points in the Premier League title race after being held to a draw by Brentford on matchday 26, in a game marked by intensity and tactical battles.
After a tightly contested first half, Arsenal finally broke the deadlock in the 61st minute through Noni Madueke, who gave the visitors the lead at a crucial moment. The goal seemed to put Mikel Arteta’s side in control as they looked to extend their advantage at the top.
However, Brentford responded with determination. Ten minutes later, Mikkel Damsgaard Lewis-Potter found the equaliser, rewarding the hosts for their sustained pressure and energy. The Gtech Community Stadium maintained a high tempo throughout, with both sides fighting for control in midfield and creating dangerous situations.
For Brentford, the result represents a valuable point against a title contender, reflecting their resilience and competitive edge. For Arsenal, the outcome is far more damaging. The Gunners miss the opportunity to increase the gap over Manchester City, who remain just four points behind in the standings.
With the title race entering a decisive phase, every dropped point could prove costly. Arsenal’s inability to hold onto their lead underlines the growing pressure as the battle with City intensifies.
