Arsenal at the top? If you're first in the Premier it's because you're the best

Manchester City can end this Premier League round five points behind leaders Arsenal, after the English champions lost 1-2 at home to Brentford. "If you're first in the Premier League, it's because you're the best. We'll try to recover later and we'll see what happens", began by saying City's coach Pep Guardiola, in the aftermath of the press conference against the Bees. "The best team [Brentford] won. We had a lot of problems and we couldn't press because they wouldn't let them. When Toney got the ball in the middle it caused us a lot of problems. They had two clear chances in the first 15 minutes. After that, we played a little better and faster. We started the second half well, but whenever they kicked long balls, we couldn't cope. It was a very similar game to last season, when they came here", he added.
