Arsenal vs Brentford Highlights: Leandro Trossard finds net, Arsenal play out thrilling 1-1 draw against Brentford – Check Highlights

new signature Leandro Trossard, who came off the bench to volley in Bukayo Saka’s cross, gave his team the lead with his first goal while wearing an Arsenal jersey.

The advantage, however, was short-lived as Brentford kept up the pressure on the counterattacks, and only a few minutes later, striker Ivan Toney headed in an equaliser.

Mikel Arteta’s team had an eight-point advantage in the standings, but they never appeared to be in control against a determined Brentford team who should have been ahead by halftime.

Winning is about small margins. When you win you win by small margins. But if you cannot win it then you don’t lose it,” Arteta said. “We will get ready for City. It will be another big one and another beautiful one.”

Goalscorer Trossard said to the BBC after the match: “Yeah of course it’s nice to have the goal as it gets me going but after that it’s disappointing they got the equaliser. It’s a tough one to take. We did everything well. To score against Brentford isn’t easy.

“We said before on the set-pieces they’re really good and today it happened again. We have to learn from that. There’s a game again on Wednesday to turn things around.

“You don’t get your way every game. We have to work hard every single day. There’s a great atmosphere in the team and we have to keep that momentum going even when results don’t go your way.”

The team that fell 1-0 against Everton last weekend was started by the home manager Arteta, but they struggled for the second straight week.

A well-drilled Brentford team that was at ease at the back and dangerous whenever they attacked allowed Arsenal to ride their luck in the first half. Rico Henry sliced wildly wide from a low cross only minutes into the game.

When Bryan Mbeumo’s cut-back was perfectly timed for Toney in the 24th minute, Brentford once more exposed the Arsenal defence. However, Toney’s effort against the woodwork with the goal gaping was unsuccessful.

During one pause in the action, Arteta gathered his team around him and shouted instructions. The home crowd was complaining when Ben Mee had another opportunity for Brentford.

When Gabriel Martinelli volleyed over just before halftime, the hosts had finally put together a smooth play after Saka pushed a shot from a tight angle at the goalkeeper for the visitors, David Raya.

After the break, Toney missed the target with a shot, and Brentford appeared to be regretting their missed opportunities in the first half until Saka slid a low pass across the goal area for Trossard to score.

The visitors won a VAR check for offside, and Toney’s header gave Brentford their just desserts.

Brentford is currently in eighth place and has gone 11 games without a loss in the Premier League. With six points more than second-place Manchester City, who will play Aston Villa tomorrow, Arsenal is still in first place.
