Arsenal vs Brentford was a game of frustrations for Arsenal as second half goal was cancelled out by a late equaliser by Ivan Toney.

Arsenal dominated possession but it was Brentford who had all the biggest openings of the first half. Toney put it on a plate for Rico Henry in the fifth minute but the left-back mishit his shot entirely with the goal at his mercy.

Toney was involved in all of Brentford's attacks, he played a great one-two with Bryan Mbuemo to open up the Gunners defence midway through the first half but his effort rattled the crossbar.

The chances kept coming for the visitors after the break with the best of them following to Toney in the 56 th minute, but he skewed his effort wide from inside the area.

Arsenal made them pay as substitute Trossard found the net just four minutes after his introduction as a substitute in the first time Mikel Arteta's side had opened up the visitors.

However, Toney levelled up eight minutes later after Arsenal failed to clear a free-kick into their area. Here are five talking points from an entertaining encounter at The Emirates
