It’s not going well Arsenal this February. After losing the other day against Everton, Mikel Arteta’s team is stifled in the rivalry Brentford, who managed to take a point from the Emirates (1-1), something almost impossible on this course. He City of Manchesterwho play on Sunday astonville, will be able to cut the difference to 3 points, even with one more game. They have given him a lifeline, as long as no points are deducted for the Premier League’s investigation.
Undoubtedly, the ‘gunners’ experienced one of their most uncomfortable matches on the course. And the credit goes entirely to him. Brentfordwho did everything and more to make the game difficult for those Mikel Artetawho didn’t lack desire or intensity, but found themselves a very tough rival up front.
In fact, if it is boxing, the points can win on Brentford, which just to begin with there was already a very clear one on Henry’s boots, which ended up being completely deflected. The interpretation of Thomas Frank it is very accurate. He reduced the spaces inside to limit as much as possible Odegaard and tried to drown moreover on the left, somehow nullifying Arsenal’s two main weapons.
This does not mean, however, that the Brentford play a defensive game. He played as the moments demanded. He knew how to come out vertically throughout the game and had the clearest in the first half with a shot from Tony from within the area hit by the crosshead. And, at the beginning of the second, he even had the initiative in a quarter of an hour where the Englishman repeated his shot from a nearly tracked position, but this time the post hit his meaning.
He did not lose hope Arsenal not at all, but he accused some Martinelli and Nketiah who disappeared as the minutes passed, so Mikel Arteta chose to move the nest that gives the entrance to Trossard for the Brazilian And what a move as the Belgian left his mark moments later. Odegaard and Saka found themselves in one of the few oversights of Brentford and the Englishman placed a measured cross at the far post, where Trossard took the gift (66′).
shot the Arsenal rival resistance, but Frank’s men did not want to give up and the reaction soon became clear with an air free kick. After some long balls and a bad start from Ramsdale, Tony, this time yes, he scored the goal with his head. He is quite dedicated Sergi Canosthat the market this winter went to Olympiakos, and he lost his mother this week
The remaining minutes were with an Arsenal aware of the move. That losing points was not part of his plan. The team turned to attack so much that Zinchenko was the first to have some clear chances. But that was it, as Brentford defended that point tooth and nail and took it from the Emirates.
