The Arsenal’s winning streak came to a halt as they settled for a draw against Brentford, a result that could prove costly in their title bid. The Gunners had been riding high after their impressive 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals first leg, but they failed to replicate that form against the Bees.
Thomas Partey opened the scoring for Arsenal with a well-taken goal on the counter-attack, assisted by Declan Rice. However, Brentford’s resilience paid off when they equalized in the 74th minute. Nathan Collins won a header from William Saliba, and Yoane Wissa capitalized on the opportunity with a quality finish, his 15th Premier League goal of the season.
Missed Opportunities
Arsenal had a chance to win the game but squandered it. Mark Flekken’s error gifted Bukayo Saka a one-on-one opportunity, but the English winger failed to capitalize. For much of the game, Arsenal struggled to create meaningful chances, with their possession often proving sterile.
The draw is a blow to Arsenal’s title hopes, with just six games remaining. The team now shifts their focus to their upcoming Champions League clash against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. Meanwhile, Brentford sits 11th in the league standings.
Brentford’s Strong Away Form
Brentford’s draw against Arsenal was a testament to their strong away form this season. In 2025, they have been one of the top teams in the Premier League on the road, earning the most points, scoring the most goals, and conceding the fewest. Their ability to grind out results away from home has been a key factor in their success.
