"Noni Madueke had put Arsenal in front just after the hour, sending a looping header past the wrong-footed Caoimhin Kelleher, but Keane Lewis-Potter profited from a long throw at the other end to thump in an equaliser. And Arsenal were far from their best, managing just two shots on target at the Gtech Community Stadium. Gabriel Martinelli could have won it late on, though, but he was thwarted by Kelleher."
"It [the first-half performance] felt fine. We dominated most of the first half until they got momentum. We dealt with it very well and scored the goal in the second half. I thought that was going to be enough, but they played dangerous on set-pieces, and we conceded. We had the chances to win the game, but we didn't maximise them."
Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at Brentford after Noni Madueke put them ahead with a looping header and Keane Lewis-Potter equalised from a long throw. The visitors produced only two shots on target, with Gabriel Martinelli denied late by Caoimhin Kelleher. The draw reduced Arsenal's advantage to four points after Manchester City won twice. David Raya emphasised unity and focus on upcoming fixtures, noting the team must stick together and refocus ahead of the FA Cup and a midweek match against Wolves. Arsenal recorded 0.6 expected goals, their third-lowest of the season, and registered their first shot on target only in the 61st minute.
