Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka inspire Arsenal to victory over Brentford
England duo Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka once again provided the goods as Arsenal beat Brentford to move within a point of the Premier League top four.
Making just his second league start since December 2nd, Smith Rowe’s solo effort broke the deadlock before fellow academy graduate Saka added a well-taken second in a 2-1 victory, Christian Norgaard striking a last-gasp consolation for the visitors.
The win drew Arsenal level on points with West Ham in fifth and left them just a point off Manchester United, who occupy the final Champions League place.
The Gunners also have two games in hand on United, who face a trip to Leeds on Sunday afternoon.
