🔴 LIVE: Arsenal level in riveting New Year’s Day showdown

In the first Premier League clash of 2025, Brentford welcome Arsenal for the only New Year’s Day fixture from England’s top flight.

Keep checking back for updates.

Scorers: Mbeumo 13′; Jesus 29′

Ethan Nwaneri makes his first Premier League start for the Gunners in place of the injured Bukayo Saka.

But he and his teammates were caught cold 13 minutes into the new year when Bryan Mbeumo was set free down the right and cut inside Riccardo Calafiori before sneaking past David Raya at his front post for the opener.

Only a fantastic claw back on his own line from the Spaniard saw Brentford prevented from doubling their lead and within a minute, it proved even more pivotal when they levelled.

A strong save from Mark Flekken saw the ball parried into the path of Gabriel Jesus, who dived to head home and equalise.
