Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Emirates Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Arsenal FC and Brentford FC.
- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 10' Arsenal FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' It looks surprising Brentford FC does not make any changes. Aaron Ramsdale has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Arsenal FC and Brentford FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 25' Brentford FC is showing some good football. However, Brentford FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' Arsenal FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Arsenal FC and Brentford FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 40' Brentford FC have won 521 goals from 354 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 44' Mathias Jensen makes way for Vitaly Janelt at the 44 minute mark. A tactical switch from Brentford FC.
- 48' Magnificent from Emile Smith Rowe! That is 30 goals in 428 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 53' Ethan Pinnock, a Jamaica defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 58' Cedric has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 14 cards already picked up this season.
- 63' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. David Raya made 397 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 68' Shandon Baptiste is ready to make an impact after coming on for Josh Dasilva at the 68 minute mark.
- 73' It looks like no one’s ball. Arsenal FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 75' The Arsenal FC bench stirs into life. Emile Smith Rowe is withdrawn and Nicolas Pepe gets his opportunity.
- 79' The deadlock is broken! Bukayo Saka gets on the scoresheet on 79 minutes.
- 81' Pontus Jansson is having his name booked by the referee on 81.
- 84' A tactical swap from Arsenal FC — Eddie Nketiah on, Alexandre Lacazette off on 84 minutes.
- 86' Gabriel has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 86.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
