Comments:

League position: 9th This was the first time that Brentford had lost a home game by a margin of three or more goals since moving to the Gtech Community Stadium in September 2020. The Bees failed to score for the first time in their last 11 games in all competitions. They had now lost 18 of their last 38 games in the Premier League (won 12).

Comments:

League position: 1st Arsenal had now won seven of their last eight games in the Premier League (lost one). They had now scored seven goals in the opening 30 minutes of their games so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team. Aged 15 years and 181 days, Ethan Nwaneri became the youngest-ever player to appear in: - the top division (previously Derek Forster for Sunderland against Leicester City in League Division One on 22 August 1964, aged 15 years and 185 days) - in the Premier League (previously Harvey Elliott for Fulham against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 4 May 2019, aged 16 years and 30 days). - for Arsenal in a game in a senior competition (previously Cesc Fabregas against Rotherham United in the League Cup on 28 October 2003, aged 16 years and 177 days).
