  • GOOOAAALLL! Arsenal take the lead, it’s 1-0! Smith Rowe breaks the deadlock for the Gunners with a wonderful goal! Lacazette switches the ball out to his team-mate down the left wing, who races into the box, cuts inside and then drills a low strike into the bottom right corner of the net. Lovely finish.

  • GOOOAAALLL! Arsenal double their lead! The hosts counter brilliantly, but Brentford aren’t happy with the goal as they feel that Jansson was fouled on the half-way line by Lacazette in the build-up. The striker seems to catch the Brentford skipper, but nothing is given by the referee and play continues. Partey then releases Saka in behind the Brentford defence and he races into the final third and fires the ball into the bottom right corner of the net to make it 2-0.

  • GOOOAAALLL! Brentford pull one back and make it 2-1 in stoppage time! A deep free-kick comes into the box from the right and it bounces dangerously around the area after Janelt's effort his blocked and it falls to Ajer, who flicks it to Norgaard, who smashes it into the Arsenal goal. The linesman had his flag up for offside, but after a VAR check the goal is allowed to stand.
