Arsenal closes gap on Liverpool, as Jesus stars again

LONDON — Arsenal closed the gap on Premier League leader Liverpool to six points, as Gabriel Jesus extended his hot streak in a 3-1 win at Brentford on Wednesday.

Mikel Arteta's side was rocked by Bryan Mbeumo's first-half goal at the Gtech Community Stadium.

But, the Gunners refused to be blown away on a wet and windy evening in west London, with Jesus equalizing before the break.
