It's being checked. Was Leandro Trossard offside when Gabriel Jesus headed the ball?
GOAL - Brentford 0-1 Arsenalpublished at 42 mins
Leandro Trossard
Arsenal take the lead through Leandro Trossard.
Bukayo Saka lifts the ball into Gabriel Jesus. His header is parried by Mark Flekken - straight into the air - and Trossard nods in from close range.
Poor keeping really.

Former Arsenal and Brentford midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt was an ultra-tight angle at that far post. He was never really going to score from there, Jesus.
Again, it's Arsenal being patient and that being countered by Brentford's discipline.

BBC Sport at Brentford Community StadiumRamsdale almost gave Brentford another chance there. He threw the ball into the ground when he meant to get it well clear of his area. He wan't happy with himself and slams his hand together in frustration.

A dangerous counter-attack from Arsenal, and the ball hits Bukayo Saka on the back of his heel and it's over.

Such a slow tempo to this one. The referee has spoken to both teams about taking too long over their corners. It's not making a great watch.

This is a such a compact game. A shot of the stadium showed every single outfield player in Brentford's half.

Steve Sidwell
Former Arsenal and Brentford midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveThere must be eight or nine players in front of him [Jesus] as he just isn't getting the ball. He is floating into wide areas and then Trossard is going in the middle. Arsenal's attack is fluid but it isn't disturbing what Brentford are doing defensively.

Bukayo Saka swings in this corner and Gabriel runs to the near post, turns around and the ball hits his back and goes wide. Not sure what that was about.

For all the criticism he gets I think this game would have suited Havertz in midfield over Trossard. If nothing else he’s more physical. This is going to be a battle. We haven’t looked like scoring yet.

Bukayo Saka breaks down the right for the fluorescent Gunners. But they just do nothing with it. No urgency.
