Late Drama at the Emirates as Brentford Snatch a Point from Arsenal
So here we are again, talking about another twist in the Premier League story – and this time it’s Arsenal vs Brentford that gave us a proper edge-of-your-seat kind of match. You’d think a home game against Brentford would be a chance for Arsenal to tighten their grip on the top spots, but nope – this one ended in a 1-1 draw that left a few jaws hanging.
The Emirates was packed with over 60,000 fans, and honestly, it felt like one of those games where Arsenal were going to do just enough. The first half was cagey – neither side really clicked into gear. It was 0-0 at the break, and the tension was obvious.
Then, finally, Arsenal broke through in the 61st minute. Declan Rice – who’s been in ridiculous form lately – sprinted the length of the pitch and fed Thomas Partey, who coolly slotted it in. A beautiful counterattack that actually started from a Brentford corner. That goal had "classic Arsenal" written all over it – quick transition, clean finish, crowd roaring.
And then... they let it slip.

Brentford weren't out of it, not by a long shot. Around the 74th minute, the visitors took advantage of some really poor defending by the Gunners. Nathan Collins headed the ball back into the box, and Yoane Wissa pulled off a sharp swivel and smashed it home. Just like that, it was 1-1.
From there, Arsenal pushed. They brought on the big names – Saka, Odegaard, and even the youngster Lewis-Skelly got a run. But despite the firepower and energy, they couldn’t find that second goal. Bukayo Saka had a huge chance late on, but couldn’t quite connect.
Brentford, to their credit, were brave. Even with three yellow cards, they didn't let Arsenal have it easy. Flekken made key saves, and their defensive shape held strong till the final whistle.
In the end, it’s two points dropped for Arsenal. It leaves them eight points behind Liverpool now, and while they’re still second, these are the kind of games they just have to win if they’re serious about chasing the title.
You could see the frustration on Arteta’s face. It wasn’t a disaster, but it definitely wasn’t the result they were hoping for with Real Madrid looming midweek. Let’s be honest – with games running out, every single point matters now. And this draw? It might sting more than they think.
