His cross was cleared into the path of Martinelli who rifled his shot into the back of the net.<\/p>\n<p>Brentford never looked likely to fight back, with the Gunners starting off 2025 with an important victory.<\/p>\n<h2>Watch: Brentford vs Arsenal Highlights<\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Gunners Go Second With Comeback Win! \ud83d\udd34 | Brentford 1-3 Arsenal | Premier League Highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zaQswkL5cpI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The win for Arsenal sees them move up to second, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/tables\">six points behind Liverpool &#8211; who have a game in hand.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was the perfect start to 2025 for Mikel Arteta&#8217;s side who are hoping to end their 21-year title drought.
