Arteta admits he has little hope of winning the title this season

Arsenal coach Arteta admitted after the game that the team's hope of winning the championship this season is "not great". In the home game against Brentford, although Thomas Partey scored the first goal for the Gunners, Jonny Visa equalized the score for the visiting team, and the two teams finally shook hands and made peace with a 1-1 draw. After this game, Arsenal is 10 points behind the leader Liverpool with one more game to play.

It was not until the 61st minute that Arsenal broke the deadlock through Partey - Rice made an assist after completing his signature long-distance run, and Partey shot the ball into the goal from the edge of the penalty area.

Brentford launched a counterattack in the 74th minute, and Visa scored in front of the goal, giving the visiting team a point.

"Today we had hoped to increase our chances of winning the Premier League title, but this result obviously takes us further away from our goal," Arteta said bluntly after the game.

Arteta made some changes to the starting lineup in this game. Although David Raya made a great save to block Ayer's shot in the early stages, Arsenal gradually took control of the situation.

In the 33rd minute, Kieran Tierney headed in a cross from Ethan Nwaneri. However, the semi-automatic offside recognition technology, which was used for the first time, showed that Tierney was offside and the goal was ruled invalid.

Arsenal were unhappy again soon after. Brentford captain Christian Nergau made a tackle on Martinelli, but the referee only showed a yellow card, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among Arsenal players and spectators.

This is the second consecutive Premier League game in which Arsenal have drawn 1-1, and the continuous loss of points has put their title hopes in jeopardy. Liverpool now only needs to get nine more points in the remaining seven games to secure the championship.
