EPL: Arsenal drop points again, Chelsea continue winless run
Premier League leaders Arsenal have dropped points again after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The Gunners picked up only their second defeat of the league season in their previous game, against Everton; and now have three draws so far this season.
Substitute Leandro Trossard scored his first goal for Arsenal in the 66 minute of the game to put the hosts ahead before Ivan Toney earned resilient Brentford a deserved point about 10 minutes later.
Arsenal failed to go eight points clear at the top of the league, and will next face second-placed Manchester City in a top-of-the table showdown on 15 February.
