Arsenal’s Premier League Title Bid Takes a Hit After 1-1 Draw at Brentford

On Thursday at the Gtech Community Stadium, Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw as Noni Madueke scored in the 61st and Keane Lewis‑Potter equalised in the 71st.
Having been nine points clear after the Sunderland win, Arsenal's cushion has shrunk as Manchester City rallied to beat Liverpool on Sunday and Fulham on Wednesday.
The match ended in frantic fashion as Brentford dominated and Igor Thiago lashed a late chance over before Caoimhín Kelleher denied Gabriel Martinelli in added time.
Arsenal remain in control of the title race despite the draw, but momentum appears to have tilted towards Manchester City after recent wins and Arsenal still face a trip to City in April.
William Saliba's absence saw Cristhian Mosquera drafted in, and Opta data shows Arsenal's win rate drops from 68.6% to 44.4% without Saliba.
