Mikel Arteta’s men fell behind after Bryan Mbeumo took advantage of David Raya leaving a gap at his near post, but the North London side responded through Gabriel Jesus on the half-hour mark.

The win sees Arteta's men close the gap at the top of the Premier League to six points, albeit with Liverpool playing one game fewer than the Gunners.
Speaking on TNT Sports after Arsenal became the second team to beat Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium this season, the ex-centre-back was bullish.
“Arsenal picked up the intensity; that is a strong signal from the team,” said Keown. “They are alive and kicking, still alive in this title race. In the second half, they showed their class. It was really important for them to win tonight and get the job done.”
