    Absolute travesty man. Havertz shouldn't be on the pitch for goodness sake. Unfair doesn't begin to cover it.

    There's a VAR check for an Arsenal penalty.

    Fair play to Brentford in the second half, they've played better than the first but Arsenal have been relentless.

  5. Arsenal 2-1 Brentford

    Not quite Darwin Nunez at Nottingham Forest territory but Kai Havertz's goal is timed at 85:35. The atmosphere has completely changed. Arsenal fans are dancing in the stands.

    GOAL - Arsenal 2-1 Brentford

    Kai Havertz

    Listen to that noise!

    Kai Havertz - who was ridiculed not that long ago - comes to Arsenal's rescue with a priceless late goal.

    It's another assist from Ben White who pings the ball into the box and Havertz is up to direct his header into the net.

    Bedlam inside the Emirates.

    Arsenal will still win this because that's what seems to be happening with the top three but it's been so refreshing to see a team go at them rather than just folding after five minutes.

  9. Arsenal 1-1 Brentford

    As it stands...

    Liverpool are top on 63 points after 27 games. Arsenal are second on 62 after 28 and Manchester City have 62 from 27.

    The Gunners need to find a winner.

  11. Arsenal 1-1 Brentford

    Whatever the result, this has been a spirited performance by Brentford.

    They arrived at the Emirates on the back of 10 defeats in their previous 13 Premier League games.

    The Bees are not far away from securing a hard-earned point.

    Arsenal are starting to get a little bit edgy now.

  13. Arsenal 1-1 Brentford

    Into the final 10 minutes.

    Will Arsenal find a winner?

  14. SUBSTITUTIONS

    That Ramsdale tip-over more than compensated for the howler!

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Arsenal 1-1 Brentford

    Thomas Frank makes a double change and Neal Maupay is among those coming on.

    He's caused Arsenal grief before. Brentford still fancy this.

  17. Arsenal 1-1 Brentford

    Six against Sheffield United. Four against Newcastle. Five against Burnley.

    Arsenal have been scoring goals for fun lately.

    But they only have the one against Brentford.

    And they face dropping two points unless they can find another.

    Noelito40: It's an unwritten rule, but there's a higher bar for fouls in the box. Anywhere else on the pitch, that's a free kick for the pullback on Troussard.

    Michael Brown
    Former Fulham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That would have been some finish from Declan Rice.

  20. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Arsenal 1-1 Brentford

    Declan Rice cannot believe it!

    He's about 25 yards out when he has a crack. It cannons off Mark Flekken's crossbar.

    Arsenal are throwing everything at this.
