    FT: Arsenal 1-1 Brentford!! All over at the Emirates and it's another setback for the Gunners. Brentford played very well and a draw was fair. Trossard gave Arsenal the lead in the 67th minute moments after coming on, but Toney levelled seven minutes later after the VAR seemingly checked the wrong offside. Their lead could be just three points ahead of the game with Man City on Wednesday. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    The free-kick by Vieira is a terrible one and it's straight to Raya.

  • 95'
    It's all kicking off after Arsenal are given a free-kick in their own box. That doesn't help Arsenal at all.

    Five extra minutes.
  • 88'
    Another Arsenal attack involving Saka and Brentford get hold of the ball.
  • 88'

    Time's running out for the Gunners.
