Lewis-Potter equalises from long throw by Kayode
Arsenal miss chance to restore six-point lead at top
Mikel Arteta admitted that Arsenal weren’t ruthless enough to beat a physical Brentford team as they missed the chance to restore their six-point lead over Manchester City.
Noni Madueke’s header broke the deadlock in west London in the second half but Keane Lewis-Potter equalised 10 minutes later from a long throw by Michael Kayode to set up a grandstand finale that saw both sides spurn chances to win it.
Arsenal, who badly missed William Saliba and Kai Havertz after they were ruled out with illness and injury respectively, now have a four-point lead over City with 12 games to play and Arteta acknowledged that they had failed to cope with Brentford’s threat from set-pieces.
