Brentford, Feb. 14 -- Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford on Saturday, according to the Premier League website. With the draw, Arsenal's lead at the top of the tournament's table stands at just four points.

With Manchester City having beaten Fulham 3-0 earlier in the week, the pressure was on Mikel Arteta's side to respond.

In the match, the visitors started steadily but struggled to create clear chances in a tight first half. Gabriel Magalhaes had an early header blocked, in what turned out to be Arsenal's only clear opportunity of the first half. Brentford looked to have come closest before the break, as David Raya made a sharp save from Igor Thiago's close-range header.
