Arsenal Player Ratings: 'Sublime' 9/10 but 'Frustrating' 5 as Gunners Edge Past Brentford

Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka scored as Arsenal secured a clean sheet and extended their Premier League lead to five points, maintaining control despite key injuries.

  • On Wednesday, Arsenal defeated Brentford 2 at the Emirates Stadium, returning Mikel Arteta's side to winning ways and sitting five points clear.
  • Last week, the team faced a pivotal run of fixtures and Arsenal, missing Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba, relied on a makeshift back four with Ben White returning from injury.
  • Match analysts highlighted that David Raya tipped Kevin Schade's header onto the crossbar, while Arsenal created chances but lacked quality in finishing and set-piece delivery.
  • The game left immediate concerns as Cristhian Mosquera and Declan Rice were both forced off with injuries, creating injury concerns despite the makeshift back four securing another clean sheet.
  • Eberechi Eze's first outing on the left after playing centrally for the past month impressed immediately, while Bukayo Saka scored late after being named on the bench, according to Arteta.
