A 1-1 draw at home to Brentford means Arsenal go into their biggest game of the campaign so far without a win in two Premier League games for the first time, having now failed to win in three in all competitions. Mikel Arteta’s side were as laboured as they were in the 1-0 defeat to Everton last week, struggled to match Brentford’s physicality, and then immediately allowed the one positive of Andreas Trossard’s first goal to fritter away. Arsenal really struggled with the force of Brentford’s two forwards in Bryan Mbuemo and Ivan Toney. In what was Brentford’s first real set-piece attack, Arsenal just couldn’t seem to clear it, and there was Christian Norgaard to lift the ball back over for Toney to nod in.
