FULL-TIME: ARSENAL 2-1 BRENTFORD
A convincing performance by Arsenal here at the Emirates Stadium, but the Gunners will be disappointed not to keep the clean sheet. Mikel Arteta's side are now just one point off the top four with two games in hand.
GOAL FOR BRENTFORD! VAR OVERTURNS THE DECISION!
The free-kick comes in from Ghoddos, and after a bit of pinball in the box, Norgaard scrambles the ball in after shifting the ball to his left foot! The flag goes up for offside, but after a VAR check, Brentford have a consolation.
Goal
C. Nørgaard

The board goes up for three minutes added time.

GOALLLLL! ARSENAL SEAL IT
Bukayo Saka seals it for Arsenal with a great finish!
Pontus Jansson is caught out in the middle of the pitch after advancing and Arsenal counter with three players versus two for Brentford.
Partey threads in Saka on his left, and the winger makes no mistake, slotting the ball into the bottom corner with a great finish! Clinical from the Gunners.

B. Saka
BIG TACKLE!
A goal-saving challenge by Christian Norgaard!
Arsenal break as the Brentford defence is all over the place. Odegaard gets the ball in space and shoots from inside the box, but the effort is tame and Raya just about gets a palm to it.
The rebound falls to Nicolas Pepe, but Norgaard is there to make a goal-saving tackle for the Bees.
ARSENAL CHANGE
The Gunners make their first change as Emile Smith Rowe makes way for Nicolas Pepe.

BRENTFORD ON THE ATTACK
The visitors have had their first prolonged spell of possession, as they look to venture forwards.
Baptiste clips in a ball towards Mbeumo on the right-hand side of the area, but Gabriel is there to make the challenge and clear the danger.
CHANCE!
What a through ball by Janelt!
The midfielder clips in a brilliant through ball from deep behind the Arsenal defence and into Mbeumo, but he cannot control the ball and the chance goes begging!
BRENTFORD CHANGE
The substitution is confirmed as Josh Dasilva's race is run, and he comes off for Shandon Baptiste.

BRENTFORD CHANGES IMMINENT
Shandon Baptiste is waiting in the wings to come on.
BLOCKED!
Tierney has a go from the left-hand side of the area, but his effort is blocked and it goes behind for a corner.
Once again, the resulting set-piece is cleared by Brentford.
DECENT OPENING
Saka finds some space around 25-yards from goal, and he tries to hit one into the bottom corner, but it is straight at Raya and the Brentford goalkeeper makes the stop.
OVER!
Cedric delivers in a corner from the left, and Pinnock rises highest to head the ball away.
However, it only goes as far as Partey on the edge of the area, but he fires way over the bar.
