The equalizer came out of nowhere because it was the Gunner’s first shot on goal. Particularly bitter: Shortly before the goal, Yarmolyuk shot from distance and David Raya fished the ball out on the line.

Tooor for Arsenal FC, 1-1 by Gabriel Jesus
Arsenal equalize! The Gunners combine in front of the box and the Bees can’t get the situation clarified. Then Partey stops from the second row and Flekken deflects the ball forward. Gabriel Jesus is in exactly the right place and heads in from close range.

Brentford are slowly but surely taking control and becoming more and more calm in their game. Lewis-Potter crosses from the left corner of the penalty area to the second post, where Calafiori heads it clear in front of Wissa at the last moment.

6:47 p.m
Arsenal have just over 80 percent possession of the ball here and are still behind. A good transition situation was enough for the Bees to take the lead. Now the home team is concentrating even more on defending.

Tooor for Brentford FC, 1-0 by Bryan Mbeumo
The underdog leads! Damsgaard wins the ball in front of the halfway line and plays the ball to the right to Mbeumo. He comes into the penalty area on the right and lets Calafiori get out. He beats David Raya with a low, hard shot into the bottom right corner.

The first half chance of the game belongs to the Gunners. Ødegaard shoots from the half-right position from the second row. But his shot comes way too high and sails into the stands.
7.
6:39 p.m
The hosts haven’t really gotten into the game yet and are standing pretty deep and letting Arsenal come. It still works, but it won’t work for long against such a top club.

6:35 p.m
In the first few minutes, the Gunners let the ball run well through their own ranks and wanted to get the better of their opponents. But they haven’t gotten in front of the goal yet.

Game start
18:23
In their last league game, Arsenal narrowly beat relegation candidates Ipswich Town 1-0. In comparison, head coach Mikel Arteta is making four changes. Instead of Lewis-Kelly, Rice, Havertz and Trossard, Calafiori, Partey, Mikel Merino and Nwaneri, who is making his starting debut, can play from the start.
18:12
After the goalless draw against Brighton, Thomas Frank changed his starting eleven to a total of two positions. Instead of Mee, van den Berg starts in defense. In addition, the German international Kevin Schade has to go to the bench and will be replaced by Yarmolyuk.
5:58 p.m
The situation at Arsenal is completely different. The Gunners have not lost in all competitions since the beginning of November and are therefore eleven games without defeat. The last defeat for the North Londoners came on matchday ten when they narrowly lost 1-0 to Newcastle. With 36 points, Arsenal are currently in third place, but are already nine points behind leaders Liverpool and if the Reds do not collapse completely, the Gunners will no longer be able to intervene in the title fight.
5:44 p.m
Brentford FC started the season relatively well, but the results of the last few weeks leave a lot to be desired. Of the last five games, the west London club won only one, one ended in a draw and three games were lost. The Bees are currently in twelfth place with 24 points and are therefore in solid midfield and are nine points ahead of the first relegation zone. Danish head coach Thomas Frank’s goal this season is to stay in the league.
5:30 p.m
Welcome to matchday 19 of the Premier League. Brentford FC and Arsenal FC meet at 6:30 p.m. The game is led by Peter Bankes.
