Arteta on Saka’s impact on the team

Arsenal have lost even more ground in the Premier League title race as they dropped points to Brentford.

Thomas Partey gave the Gunners a second-half lead, finishing off a lightning-quick counter attack with Declan Rice at the heart of things once again for Mikel Arteta’s side.

However, Yoane Wissa hooked in a crucial equaliser to score in back-to-back visits to the Emirates - a goal that would deny Arsenal all three points on the afternoon.

The result means Liverpool need just nine more points from six games to seal the Premier League title, which could be won against Arsenal’s fierce North London rivals Tottenham on April 27.
