US EditionPremier League: Arsenal regains 5-point lead as Liverpool drops more points at Anfield
Arsenal overcame injuries and rotation to maintain an 18-match unbeaten run and extend their Premier League lead to five points, with goals from Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka.
- On Wednesday, December 3, 2025, Arsenal re-established a five-point lead with a 2-0 home win over Brentford at the Emirates Stadium in London.
- With pressure from Manchester City, Mikel Arteta, Arsenal manager, rotated his squad, resting Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber and Eberechi Eze to manage a congested fixture list.
- Mikel Merino's 11th-minute header from Ben White's cross opened scoring, and substitute Bukayo Saka sealed victory after Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher could only parry his shot.
- Meanwhile, Liverpool needed a late own-goal to salvage a 1-1 draw at Anfield, dropping more points, while Arsenal extended their unbeaten run to 18 matches.
- With injuries stacking up, Cristhian Mosquera limped off and Declan Rice left with a suspected calf problem, while Mikel Arteta urged for 'just a little more time to recover' as Arsenal's squad depth covered absences.
