Toney to Arsenal just doesn't feel like the answer. As brilliant player as he is, we need someone who is younger and can mature and develop with this squad over the long term! Thoughts?

There's a stoppage in play to allow Christian Norgaard to receive treatment.
Mikel Arteta has gathered his players on the sidelines and is very animated as he delivers a set of instructions.
You'd think Arsenal were losing rather than winning judging by his reactions.

Image source, Getty ImagesI love Aaron Ramsdale's passion and celebrations. Really harsh to have been replaced by Raya but he is an asset to this Arsenal squad. As a neutral (Villa fan), I'd rather Arsenal win the league than City or Liverpool!

Almost a chance for Brentford!
Jakub Kiwior is far too casual in possession and the Bees spring forward.
However, the final delivery towards Ivan Toney is cleared.

Arsenal are scoring for fun recently and playing with flair! Hope Ramsdale has a great game and Kiwior continues to develop. Up the Gunners!

Surely Rice is signing of the season right now. Mad to think that he's looking like a bargain at £105million.

Ben White's assist for Declan Rice's goal was lovely.
England recall beckoning with Euro 2024 around the corner?

There's a touch of frustration creeping into Brentford's play.
Mathias Jørgensen has just been booked for a late, late challenge on Leandro Trossard.

Rice is so good that he's underrated, despite everyone rating him! He's brilliant.

Remember those 'boring, boring Arsenal' chants?
They've been replaced by 'scoring, scoring Arsenal'.
32 goals in the past seven and a bit Premier League games.

Former Fulham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveDeclan Rice seems to be getting better and better. Is he going to be the difference?
He's not just a six, he's an all-round midfielder.
GOAL - Arsenal 1-0 Brentfordpublished at 17:48 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March
Declan Rice
They can't stop scoring!
Declan Rice attacks a delicious cross into the penalty area by Ben White and Mark Flekken cannot get to it.
Arsenal go straight to the top in the 'as it stands' table.

Superb play by Aaron Ramsdale!
He makes a confident claim from the corner and then sends Leandro Trossard racing clear only for Mathias Jorgensen to make a challenge.
Superb distribution by the Arsenal keeper.

Some nerves around the Emirates as Brentford threaten for the first time. A dangerous surge into the Arsenal penalty area is ended by an offside flag.
