Arsenal reclaimed top spot in the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, while 15-year-old Ethan Nwaneri made his debut for the Gunners. SLInt MORE:
The Gunners made three changes from their defeat against Manchester United, as Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey were recalled and Fabio Vieira got his first start while Oleksandr Zinchenko and Martin Odegaard were out injured.
The Bees held their own against Arsenal but were undone by another high ball just before the half-hour mark after Gabriel Jesus peeled off on the far side and guided a header past goalkeeper David Raya from a sumptuous lob by Granit Xhaka. Arsenal retained their momentum from the break and were out of sight four minutes in after Vieira smashed an incredible strike from range that went in off the post after he was given space to shoot.
With the tempo of the game slowing down and Brentford not threatening to come back into the game in the last 12 minutes, Arteta required fresh legs as Eddie Nketiah and Albert Sambi Lokonga both came on for Gabriel Martinelli and Partey up front and in midfield, respectively.
