Arsenal Storm Back to Defeat Brentford 3-1 in Thrilling Comeback Win
Arsenal showcased resilience and quality as they fought back from an early setback to secure a 3-1 victory over Brentford, moving within six points of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
The Gunners were stunned in the 13th minute when Bryan Mbeumo slotted home for Brentford, capitalizing on Arsenal’s shaky start. The hosts nearly doubled their lead moments later when Keane Lewis-Potter’s strike slipped through David Raya’s grasp. However, the Arsenal goalkeeper scrambled heroically to claw the ball off the line, a moment that proved pivotal.
Barely a minute later, Gabriel Jesus leveled the score with a well-timed header, pouncing on a rebound to inject life back into Mikel Arteta’s side.
The Gunners took full control early in the second half with a rapid double salvo. First, Mikel Merino capitalized on a chaotic corner to put Arsenal ahead in the 50th minute. Then, 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri, handed his first Premier League start in place of the injured Bukayo Saka, delivered a deflected cross that Gabriel Martinelli brilliantly converted to seal the victory.
The result lifts Arsenal into second place, leapfrogging Nottingham Forest, as they continue to chase down league leaders Liverpool, who still hold a game in hand. Brentford, meanwhile, remain in 12th after suffering only their second home defeat of the season.
