It certainly won’t be a match to remember for Arsenal, but Havertz’s goal will undoubtedly be one that will live on in the memory if Arsenal ultimately win the Premier League. The German, who was talked about, gave his team the victory with a header in the 89th minute to knock down Brenfrod and put the Gunners in the lead (0-1).
It costs a lot. It was one of those rowing-against-the-current duels because Thomas Frank’s team didn’t make it easy. With eleven players behind the ball, he made life impossible for Mikel Arteta, driving his team from the wing trying to figure out how to open spaces in the middle, something he was unable to achieve throughout the match.
Domination of possession was insultingly in Arsenal’s favour, but chances counted in dribs and drabs. Few and no risk, that’s the gist. Not that Brentford did much, but they had the collaboration of Ramsdale. Nervous between the sticks, he lost the ball in the area and Rice miraculously got on the line to keep out Mbeumo’s first.
The first half ended with the most dangerous of the Gunners. In fact, it ended with a goal. Flekken got a good hand on Gabriel Jesus’ header but left the rebound dead and Trossard scored, but slightly offside. However, the play could have served to raise the morale of Arsenal’s players and add some extra gear to the circulation, but this was not the day.
Even with Odegaard and Martinelli stuck, who usually make little gains, it remains to be seen if Saka decides. But the minutes ticked by and more dangerous chances for Arteta’s men came from Thomas Frank. Brentford almost scored again, and Zinchenko, like Rice, kept it out on the same goal line after Maupay’s header.
There are no football reasons to believe, but Arsenal is already a big team. And he showed it. Saka, who everyone was waiting for, took a closed cross that found the head of one of the most talked about players, Havertz, who this time nailed it in the 89th minute to give the Gunners the victory assigned success to an insecure. Ramsdale after Raya’s arrival.
