Arsenal hailed as title contenders after 3-0 win over Brentford


Brentford boss, Thomas Frank, has described Arsenal as title contenders after their 3-0 win on Sunday.

William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira all scored for the Gunners at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The Gunners’ last visit to Brentford ended in a miserable 2-0 defeat on the opening day of last season.

However, on this occasion, Mikel Arteta’s men were totally dominant, the victory underlining their recent improvement and sending them a point clear of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at the top of the Premier League table.

“It was a well-deserved win for them,” Frank said of Arsenal.

“You can see how hard they worked. I think they will do brilliantly. I think they compete for the title now.”
