Lewis-Potter's header for Brentford dents title charge of table-topping Gunners

- PHILIP DUNCAN

ARSENAL'S lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League stands at just four points after Mikel Arteta's titlechasing side were held to a draw at Brentford.

Noni Madueke put Arsenal in front on the hour mark with a fine header.

But the Bees were back on terms only 10 minutes later when Keane Lewis-Potter struck following Michael Kayode's long throw.

Following their equaliser, Brentford, who knew a win would take them above Liverpool in the table, looked the more likely to score with Igor Thiago wasting a golden chance in stoppage time.

However, substitute Gabriel Martinelli might have then won it for Arsenal only to be denied by Caoimhin Kelleher in a frantic end to the match.
