By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nFirst half facts and figures<\/h3>\n Arsenal have been on top in West London, but have been unable to find a way through Brentford.<\/p>\n
However, they have also stopped the opposition from scoring a first half goal for the ninth time in 13 games this season – only Crystal Palace have done so more this season (10).<\/p>\n<\/span><\/li>\n7 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nHalf-time – Brentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n It's goalless at the break at the Gtech, and there's not too much to report.<\/p>\n
An Arsenal goal shortly before half-time was ruled out following a VAR check for offside against scorer Leandro Trossard, who also sent a close range header over earlier in the game.<\/p>\n
On his return to the Gunners side, Aaron Ramsdale has looked nervous, and was fortunate not to concede after giving up possession from his own goal-kick.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
10 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 45+3. In the last act of the first half, Odegaard attempts to acrobatically flick in a Zinchenko cross with his backheel.<\/p>\n
It would have been sensational had it found the net, but instead it was nowhere near and probably would have been best for Tomiyasu, who was charging in behind.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n11 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal – Ajer yellow card<\/h3>\n 45. Brentford defender Kristoffer Ajer is the first player to go into the book, cautioned for booting the ball away after being penalised for a foul five yards outside his own penalty area.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, there will be three minutes of time added on.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
12 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 43. Trossard scores! And Arsenal lead!<\/p>\n
Or do they?!<\/p>\n
The Belgian is on the spot to nod home from close range after Flekken had pushed up Jesus' initial header, but there is a VAR check ongoing to see whether the scorer was offside.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the word comes through to Tim Robinson that Trossard did have his left foot marginally ahead of Jesus when the first attempt was made, and the goal is ruled out.<\/p>\n
A let off for Brentford.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/li>\n16 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 41. At the opposite end, Mark Flekken doesn't look too clever either.<\/p>\n
The Dutch custodian makes heavy weather of Jesus' looping shot from the edge of the box to gift Brentford a corner.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
17 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 39. The ironic thing is that Ramsdale blunder of a throw (which gets worse with every replay) inexplicably led to a blistering Arsenal counter attack that looked so threatening until Saka stood on the ball. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
20 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 37. Ramsdale makes a mess of a throw out, once again getting away with his latest mishap.<\/p>\n
However, this nervous showing won't be doing his case for a permanent recall any good, and it's probably time for his dad to switch his phone off. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
22 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 35. Ten minutes until half-time, and Arsenal are still yet to test Mark Flekken despite almost 70% of possession and five attempts at goal.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n24 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 33. More corner shenanigans, this time involving Brentford. <\/p>\n
Bryan Mbeumo and Saman Ghoddos are spoken to by Tim Robinson, who explains that they both cannot be off the pitch at the same time as they attempt to keep Arsenal guessing as to who was going to deliver the set-piece.<\/p>\n
In the end, it didn't matter as it came to nothing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
26 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 31. An unorthodox effort from Gabriel, who meets Saka's near post corner with his back and steers the ball into the side netting.<\/p>\n
I suppose they all count if they go in – until VAR gets involved, anyway.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
28 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 29. Sharp defending from Pinnock blocks Jesus' turn and shot inside the penalty area.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, it's probably the first time that Arsenal have found space as an attacking unit, and exposed Brentford's backline.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
30 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 27. This Brentford defence is more crowded than the high street on Black Friday. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
33 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 25. Trossard heads over!<\/p>\n
There's an argument to be made that the Belgian should have done better considering he was ten yards out and unmarked.<\/p>\n
However, Zinchenko's cross was fizzed in with such pace that Trossard did well to twist in the air to connect fully with the cross.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
34 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 23. Norgaard goes for goal from a long way out, but his wayward effort only draws cries of derision from the away support.<\/p>\n
The Dane unable as of yet to replicate his heroics from this fixture two years ago.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n36 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 21. Zincheko and Jesus link up neatly on the left with the latter trying his luck when cutting inside on to his right foot.<\/p>\n
Before he can contemplate a shot at goal, however, Onyeka bursts back to take the ball off the toes of the Brazilian.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
38 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 19. Brentford are dropping deep in compact fashion whenever Arsenal are in possession.<\/p>\n
It's a long time for any team to play like this without the ball, but then again the Bees are so well-drilled under Thomas Frank.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
39 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 17. Mee comes to the home side's rescue once more.<\/p>\n
The former Burnley defender slides in impeccably to cut out Odegaard's through ball for Saka.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
40 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 15. This time it's Trossard's turn to take his time with a corner.<\/p>\n
Once again, the Brentford fans are not amused and neither is referee Tim Robinson.<\/p>\n
He calls over captain Martin Odegaard to explain that further delaying tactics will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
42 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 13. "You're just a s**t David Raya!" sing the home fans.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
42 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 12. Aaron Ramsdale watch!<\/p>\n
The Arsenal goalkeeper takes a short goalkick to Gabriel, and then receives it straight back.<\/p>\n
Considering his choices, the Gunners stopper slips and allows Wissa to nick ball off him.<\/p>\n
A goal looks a certainty when it's square to Mbeumo, but Rice saves his goalkeeper's blushes by somehow getting back to clear off the line. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n46 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 10. Saka takes an age with the game's first corner – much to the annoyance of the home fans.<\/p>\n
Eventually, it's swung to the near post to little effect, but the forwardgets another go when it's headed back to him.<\/p>\n
This time he finds Trossard in space on the edge of the box, only for the Belgian to sweep well over the crossbar.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
48 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 8. Tomiyasu tries to clear the Brentford defence with a long throw intended for Odegaard's run.<\/p>\n
The right-back was reckoning without the towering frame of Mee, however, and sees his delivery headed clear.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
50 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 6. The visitors push forward again, but Jesus is slow to get himself back onside and is subsequently flagged when laying off to Odegaard.<\/p>\n
I'm not sure the Gunners captain is too impressed with his striker's casual effort there.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
53 minutes ago<\/time><\/span>By Sam Dymond<\/span> \nBrentford 0-0 Arsenal<\/h3>\n 4. A half-chance for Martinelli comes and goes – although the Brazilian may well have been offside.<\/p>\n
An Odegaard free-kick from the left catches a static Brentford defence cold, allowing the winger to steal in and attempt a back header over Flekken. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
