Arsenal give up Premier League to focus on Champions League. |
While Liverpool are starting to show signs of instability, Arsenal are constantly "shooting themselves in the foot" in the Premier League title race this season. The second consecutive draw leaves the gap between the "Gunners" and the "Reds" at 10 points. In fact, the North London representative has played one more match.
Liverpool have a great chance to win the championship 4 rounds early, forcing Chelsea and Arsenal to line up to welcome the new champion, in rounds 35 and 36 respectively.
In the match against Brentford, coach Mikel Arteta decided to rotate the squad to save energy for the big match against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. Despite a slow start, the home team still created significant opportunities in the first half.
Ethan Nwaneri, a young talent given a chance to start, left his mark with creative passes, while Thomas Partey and Leandro Trossard had dangerous shots but were all blocked by goalkeeper Mark Flekken or Brentford defenders.
In the second half, Arsenal pressed their opponents strongly and opened the scoring in the 60th minute. The situation started from a quick kick by David Raya, the ball fell to Declan Rice before he assisted Thomas Partey to score. This was the Ghanaian midfielder's first goal in the Premier League this season, and a worthy reward for Arsenal's efforts to control the game.
Brentford were not to be put off, however. The visitors fought back and were rewarded in the 74th minute when Kristoffer Ajer headed the ball back from a corner, allowing Yoane Wissa to level the score from close range. Wissa's improvised finish left goalkeeper Raya helpless.
At the end of the match, Arsenal went all out in search of the decisive goal. Bukayo Saka almost became the hero when he had a chance to finish in the box in injury time, but his shot went just wide of the goal.
