Arsenal returned to the Premier League summit with a dominant 3-0 victory at Brentford, where Fabio Vieira scored on his first league start on Sunday. Mikel Arteta’s side saw their winning start ended by defeat at Manchester United in their previous league match, but they responded in emphatic fashion to move a point clear of Manchester City and Tottenham.
First-half goals from William Saliba and Gabriel Jesus put Arsenal in control, before Vieira – in for the injured Martin Odegaard – added a brilliant third after the interval. Arsenal fans were impressed with what they saw and are dreaming of the Premier League title race this season. Here are some tweets for you to enjoy:

Gabriel Martinelli slipped to spurn a glorious chance inside two minutes, but Arsenal soon punished Brentford for a timid start with two goals in quick succession. Saliba met Bukayo Saka’s corner with a near-post glance, which bounced off David Raya’s right post and over the line before the goalkeeper could react, and then Jesus nodded in from Granit Xhaka’s left-wing cross.
Vieira marked his full debut by whipping past Raya and in off the post from outside the area four minutes after the break. The Bees had lost just one of their previous 17 top-flight London derbies at home yet proved no match for an in-form Arsenal, who picked up their sixth win in seven league games.
