Arsenal, with a B unit full of substitutes, beat Brentford this Wednesday (0-1) and advanced to the round of 16 of the English League Cup.
The Gunners, who did not introduce starters until the second half, beat their west London neighbors with a first-half goal from Reiss Nelson.
It was a gift from the ‘Bees’, a poor defensive delivery that left Eddie Nketiah unmarked inside the area. The English striker was generous and put it past Nelson on the penalty spot to almost score the only goal of the match.
It’s a complicated visit for Arsenal, in a field where only two teams won the Premier League last season, but they missed it with a ticket to the next round of the cup and are likely to rest a lot of players.
Gabriel Jesús, Martin Odegaard and Oleksandr Zinchenko only played in the final minutes, while Gabriel, Ben White and Kai Havertz, Arteta’s regulars, were barely included in the starting eleven.
Good news for Arsenal, who have only won this competition twice in their history, in 1987 and 1993
