ARSENAL ARE UNSTOPPABLE! Arsenal Calafiori & Rice INSANE! Arsenal 2-0 Brentford

Arsenal go five points clear in the Premier League once more after a 2-0 win at home against Brentford! A first-half goal from Merino inside 11 minutes set the Gunners on their way, but it was Brentford who emerged after the break with greater purpose. They racked up eight corners across the match and applied periods of pressure, yet failed to create any major chances – even after turning to the bench and introducing Thiago, the league’s second-highest scorer, who couldn’t provide the desired impact. Arsenal had a late opportunity through Calafiori which Kelleher saved before denying Saka’s follow-up, but just moments later, in the 91st minute, he couldn’t stop Saka’s next effort as it looped over him and over the line. The Emirates erupted as Arsenal sealed all three points. Arteta’s side created 1.72 xG compared to Brentford’s 0.34, underlining how Andrews’ players failed to find that all-important goal while the game remained at 1-0. Arsenal are now unbeaten in their last 18 matches in all competitions and sit five points clear of the chasing pack. Brentford drop to 13th and continue to struggle on the road. Arsenal now travel to face one of the league’s most in-form teams, Aston Villa, in a blockbuster meeting, while Brentford return to North London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in another derby.
