Arsenal Thrash Brentford 3- 0, Return To Premier League Summit

Goals from William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira put the gloss on a dominant performance to beat Brentford 3-0.

This victory restores Arsenal to the summit of the premier league which is beginning to gather momentum.

Injuries to captain Martin Odegaard and Oleksandr Zinchenko had stretched Mikel Arteta’s squad to the extent that 15-year-old Ethan Nwaneri came off the bench late to become the youngest player in Premier League history.

However, the Gunners showed no sign of weakness at a ground where they were beaten 2-0 last season to move back one point above Manchester City and Tottenham at the top of the table.

The match had been moved forward two hours to help ease police pressures around Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral and Britain’s longest serving monarch was remembered in a minute’s silence before kick-off.

Once the action did get underway, it was one way traffic for 45 minutes as Arsenal bounced back in style from their sole defeat of the season away to Manchester United two weeks ago.

Arsenal have now won all but one of their opening league games, and will be hoping to clinch the league title at the expense of defending champions, Manchester City, big spenders Chelsea and arch rivals , Manchester United and Liverpool.
