- ARSENAL LEAD! A typically dextrous intervention from Saka finally opens the door, and the Gunners go 1-0 up at the death! Timing his run to perfection, substitute Havertz arrives at the back post to head home the winger’s delightful curling cross from the right, and breaks Brentford’s hearts!

Ramsdale didn’t do himself any favours
Back to the top
Mustafi lurks in the shadows
Havertz actually scored a goal from open play. Madness.
The universe is collapsing in on itself
fkin hell, what an awful awful day. the script actually couldn’t have been worse. great for kai tho😕
Arteta may have made Arsenal hard to beat but he has also made us hard to watch.
Nah, I disagree. We turn it on when we can afford to, but we win how we have to. More mature performances this season.
I, for one, certainly don’t miss watching the embarrassing collapses that used to take place in matches like this.
Brentford were unlucky played too composed they have now dropped 15 pts from that position won’t get spoken about but that would have them second inexperience yes but not bad going either
Ever heard of punctuation?
From what position have they dropped 15 points? Because it was nil nil and every single point dropped in a loss is dropped from nil nil by merit of that being the score at kickoff.
🔙🔛🔝👊
