Former England striker Alan Shearer shared his impressions of Arsenal's performance this season. In the match of the 8th round, the Gunners easily dealt with Brentford (3:0).
"It is not yet time to talk about Arsenal as a contender for the championship. But people now understand that they have a completely different team than they did 13 months ago. The win over Brentford shows progress under Arteta as we all remember the defeat against this team in the first round of last Premier League season. Then the "gunners" were not just beaten, they were crushed.
Arteta changed the atmosphere in the club. He has to be given credit because he was criticized a lot last season. This time Arsenal have 6 wins in 7 matches and are rightfully leading the Championship before the international break," BBC quoted Shearer as saying.
