S.Canos. nets a thunderous opener goal against Arsenal to give Brentford the lead

 Henry whips the ball in and it is cleared hurriedly away from the Arsenal box. There’s been a lot of that sort of thing. Thomas Frank, his haircut that of an ageing member of Chapterhouse who didn’t lose his hair, is working away with his assistants on the bench. He is almost as frantic as his team.

Balogun in a dangerous position after a pass by Tierney, who has been Arsenal’s prime attacker, but just as the young American was going to shoot, the ball was whipped from him.

Pablo Mari is trending on Twitter. Don’t imagine for a second that’s a good sign for him. Another Brentford press sneaks the ball out, and Xhaka loses it, and then he is lucky when a Mbeumo flick doesn’t come off. Brentford are...good to watch.

Calum Chambers was signed the same summer Arsenal signed Debuchy, Welbeck, Ospina and the other Gabriel. There is a question over whether the ball had gone out. But Leno was beaten down low at his near post. Poor Leno to recycle my own gag from the other day.
