But they make a mess of the short corner and Arsenal are able to break.

Ticking past the half hour mark, Brentford have been miles off it this Sunday lunchtime.
Can they find a response?
'Brilliant from Jesus'published at 12:31 British Summer Time 18 September 2022
Brentford 0-2 Arsenal
Jonathan Overend
BBC Radio 5 Live Sports commentatorIt was all too easy really. It was a brilliant header from Jesus, but he was unmarked. Xhaka, the captain on the day who’s been excellent for Arsenal this season, put the ball in and it was a perfect delivery.

Brentford 0-2 Arsenal
Nearly a third and this would have been game over.
Fabio Vieira digs out a pass to Bukayo Saka in the box, but the Arsenal forward leans back and thrashes over with his weaker right foot.

Gabriel Jesus
Lead doubled.
And it's thoroughly deserved.
It's so easy for Arsenal, they have so much time to pick out a team-mate.
Granit Xhaka has time to take a touch, see where Gabriel Jesus is positioned to chip a perfect cross onto the head of the Brazilian to loop a header into the back of the net.
Arsenal in cruise control.

Brentford 0-1 Arsenal
Jonathan Overend
BBC Radio 5 Live Sports commentatorArsenal have had far more possession here. Brentford are trying to get it over the top and through the middle to get Toney on the ball, but Arsenal have been defending well.

Brentford 0-1 Arsenal
Brentford are being forced back into their own half at the moment and there is no escaping the Arsenal press.
Thomas Frank needs to change it up a little, he can't let it go on like this.

Ivan Toney has been left isolated up top for Brentford.
They really need to get the new England man into the game.

Gabriel comes back on looking to see if he can run it off.
Gabriel wondering, "Should I Stay?"

Brentford 0-1 Arsenal
An issue for Arsenal as Gabriel has gone down and needs treatment from the physio.
The centre-back seemed to have a problem in the warm-up before the game too.
Let's see if he can continue.
'That's a very good header'published at 12:21 British Summer Time 18 September 2022
Brentford 0-1 Arsenal
Nedum Onuoha
Former Manchester City defender on BBC 5 LiveThat's a very good header and ultimately, it's very tough to defend to against. William Saliba headed it outside the width of the near post, so you’d think you’d be okay. But unfortunately, the ball and execution was so good that you now find yourself 1-0 down.

Arsenal have won all four games in which they have scored the opening goal this season.
Brentford, meanwhile, haven't won any when conceding the opener.

William Saliba
Breakthrough!
No shortage of confidence from Bukayo Saka's corner, curling in viciously which centre-back William Saliba rises to meet before flicking a towering header into the net via the post.
There's a check from the referee on his watch, it flashes 'GOAL' and the Gunners are away to celebrate.

Bukayo Saka looking a bit short of confidence?
The England international has a chance to run at the Brentford defence but thinks twice about it, cuts back and it allows the Bees to swarm back into position.
'Toney is a complete striker'published at 12:14 British Summer Time 18 September 2022

Jonathan Overend
BBC Radio 5 Live Sports commentatorHe’s so strong, Ivan Toney. He has the ability to shrug powerful defenders off the ball, but then he’s got everything else. He's a very complete striker.

Brentford fans are really taking to Ben Mee.
The ex-Burnley skipper comes across, taking Fabio Vieira and ball to huge applause.

Now then, Arsenal have a free-kick down the right and a chance to swing one into the box but Brentford get it clear.
