Arsenal moves up to 2nd place in Premier League with 3-1 win over Brentford
Associated PressLONDON — Arsenal is back into second place in the Premier League and in no rush to add players in the transfer window. Mikel Arteta’s team beat Brentford 3-1 on Wednesday to leapfrog Nottingham Forest and close the gap on league leader Liverpool to six points. I really value what we have, because it’s a lot of quality and a lot of commitment from all of them.” That includes 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri, who got his first Premier League start in place of the injured Bukayo Saka. Bryan Mbeumo put the home team ahead in the 13th minute at Gtech Community Stadium, but Gabriel Jesus made it 1-1 just before the half-hour mark — his sixth goal in the past four games. Brentford remained in 12th place and has lost three of its past four Premier League matches.
