Arsenal came from behind to beat Brentford in the first Premier League fixture of 2025 and boost their title hopes.
Bryan Mbeumo put the hosts ahead in the 12th minute, but Gabriel Jesus equalised with his sixth goal in four games.
Quickfire strikes from Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli then ensured Arsenal left west London with all three points.
It was vindication for manager Mikel Arteta, who named a changed side with Kai Havertz left out due to illness while 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri made his first Premier League start.
Arsenal are back up to second, six points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, while Brentford stay 12th.
