Arsenal miss chance to extend lead as Brentford fight back for 1-1 draw

Arsenal failed to reclaim a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford.

Noni Madueke's second-half header put the visitors ahead, but Keane Lewis-Potter equalised with a header of his own after Michael Kayode's long throw was flicked on by Sepp van den Berg.

The hosts enjoyed the better of a chaotic stoppage-time spell, with Igor Thiago missing two chances to win it – Cristhian Mosquera blocked his first effort, and he fired over from a tight angle with the second. Arsenal almost snatched victory at the death, only for Caoimhin Kelleher to deny Gabriel Martinelli.
