Brentford V Arsenal player ratings and photos as the Gunners storm to victory

Arsenal win again as their impressive start to the season continues

Arsenal have returned to the top of the Premier League after their 3-0 win away at Brentford.

The Gunners were comfortable winners against the Bees and have won six out of their opening seven matches this term.

Mikel Arteta’s side took the lead after 17 minutes after a looping header by in-form William Saliba hit the bar and bounced over the line.

They then made it 2-0 shortly after when striker Gabriel Jesus nodded home a Granit Xhaka cross.

Brentford struggled to trouble Arsenal all game and the visitors made it 3-0 in the second-half through summer recruit Fabio Viera.

It could have been more in truth but Bees’ goalkeeper David Raya made a couple of sharp stops to keep the score down.

15-year-old Ethan Nwaneri came on near the end for the Gunners to become the new youngster ever Premier League player.
