Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Brentford FC gets underway.
  • 5' Kai Havertz is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Brentford FC so far.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. William Saliba made 427 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Christian Norgaard is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Brentford FC tonight.
  • 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Thomas Frank might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Arsenal FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Brentford FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 35' Kristoffer Ajer has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 29 cards already picked up this season.
  • 40' Aaron Ramsdale has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 335 appearances.
  • 42' Brilliant from the forward! Leandro Trossard makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 42.
  • 45' Kristoffer Ajer is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
  • 50' Brentford FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 55' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 56' Poor challenge from Martinelli. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 61' The 29-year-old Gabriel Jesus has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 65' The Arsenal FC bench stirs into life. Gabriel Jesus is withdrawn and Eddie Nketiah gets his opportunity.
  • 70' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 72' It is a substitution in Brentford FC team. Yoane Wissa is replaced by Neal Maupay on 72 minute.
  • 77' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 79' A tactical swap from Arsenal FC — Kai Havertz on, Martinelli off on 79 minutes.
  • 84' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 89' Assisted by Bukayo Saka with the perfectly-timed delivery and Kai Havertz makes no mistake. 0-2!
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Keane Lewis-Potter. He replaces Bukayo Saka on 90 minute.
  • The points are shared — Brentford FC 0-1 Arsenal FC. Honours even.
