ARTETA'S ALTERATIONS DON'T DISLODGE GUNNERS AS THEIR LEAD RETURNS TO FIVE

|December 04, 2025
MIKEL MERINO and Bukayo Saka scored as Arsenal beat Brentford 2-0 to restore their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
-
Manager Mikel Arteta made three changes to the side that drew with Chelsea on Sunday with Ben White, Noni Madueke and captain Martin Odegaard coming in.
And it was White and Madueke who combined in the buildup on 11 minutes with right-back White crossing for Arsenal's makeshift frontman Merino to head home.
Bukayo Saka added the second in stoppage time.
Struggling Leeds ended a four-game losing run to dent Chelsea’s title charge with a 3-1 home win.
The Blues dropped to fourth place - nine points behind the Gunners - after a disappointing display.
The hosts dominated the first half and struck twice through Jaka Bijol and Ao Tanaka.
