00:00It's the answer for the tournament, Club of United!
00:07The referee is Tony Harrington, and it will be the Bs to get the ball rolling.
00:13League leaders Arsenal bidding to extend their 17-game unbeaten run
00:19as they look for an eighth home win in a row in all competitions.
00:26Second-placed Manchester City are the only team who visited the Emirates this season
00:32and not been beaten.
00:34That finished 1-1.
00:35Even all-conquering Bayern Munich was seen off here just last week in the Champions League.
00:42But no-one in this Arsenal camp is underestimating Brentford
00:45after their excellent start to the season and their draw here at the Emirates last season.
00:51They earned that draw despite having just two shots in the whole game.
00:55Bayern has to race back here as Arsenal look to get him behind.
01:02Erdegaard was waiting for that to drop.
01:04Be cleared here by Coyote.
01:07And it is a goal kick.
01:10Yeah, Arsenal on the front foot as you would imagine and expect early on here this evening.
01:19Keith Andrews knows that his team are going to have to perform very well.
01:22He's made some key changes tonight, and it's just how disruptive that's going to be to the rhythm of his team.
01:28Because the boys that he's left out are core players with what he has, so it's a bit of a risk attached to that.
01:37We'll see how they fare.
01:38Yeah, he's left out.
01:40Yeah, he's left out.
01:41We were saying off there a lot of the spine of the team, so he's probably his best central defender,
01:46his best holding midfielder, his best attacking midfielder and his top scorer.
01:50But he has still gone with a front two to try and cause Arsenal problems in the final third.
01:58You can see some key players also unavailable for Arsenal.
02:03A couple of central defenders there they'd love to have in the team.
02:07Good to see Gabriel Jesus back on the bench there for Arsenal.
02:10This evening he spent a lot of time watching, frustrated with injuries.
02:14Good to see him back.
02:16Yeah, he was back as an unused sub at Chelsea, didn't get on the pitch.
02:21I wonder if he will here tonight in front of his own supporters.
02:27Well, that ball was certainly on for Jensen, and if anyone could pick out Wattara there,
02:32it is the Brentford captain, just not enough on the pass.
02:41Calafiore for the Gunners.
02:43Zubimendi, great noise around the stadium.
02:48Again, you can see Arsenal on the right side of the screen there, you can see that Brentford back five, all in the line.
03:02Left backs just slightly out of the shot, Rico Henry as we speak, but Arsenal want to keep that.
03:09Keep those wing backs pinned back as much as they possibly can.
03:13That makes it particularly difficult for guys in the middle of the park to get close and to get tight and to try and turn the ball over.
03:20That's when Arsenal start to wear teams down gradually.
03:23Yeah, sometimes with this system we would call it a back three.
03:27This is very much a back five.
03:29Away from home at the league lead is understandable.
03:32Ode needs some help there from Ethan Pinnock.
03:37There will be a corner to Arsenal.
03:44We know how dangerous they are from these situations.
03:48Because they've got Nicholas Jova there, their set-piece coach.
03:52Eight Premier League goals scored from corners already this season.
03:55The most in the Premier League.
03:57Not a bad technician over the ball either.
04:10Declan Rice.
04:14Four minutes on the watch.
04:15First corner of the game.
04:17It was in towards White.
04:19He didn't make contact.
04:21Kept alive here by Martinelli.
04:23He's given away the free kick.
04:25Well there, Yarmuluk.
04:29Yeah, good play that.
04:34Just denying those crosses, denying people the ability to roll it back and let someone whip it in is, again, very important.
04:41Outside of Brentford's game, not a problem whoever's playing in terms of pressurising and threatening the ball.
04:48I'm expecting plenty of that from them this evening.
04:51We'll just see whether or not they can create enough at the top of the field tonight.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Booted out of play by White.
05:06To be content with appearances in the Champions League and the League Cups so far this season, since the opening day.
05:14He gets his chance tonight.
05:16We all know about Brentford from long throws.
05:20Yeah.
05:21This man's as good as any when it comes to hurling the ball into the box and you get a good run up here at the Emirates Stadium.
05:28Launched by Coyote.
05:30That's a good trajectory on that as well.
05:33And Calafiore gets there ahead of Christopher Aya to put it out for a corner.
05:38Yeah, he made a good run actually there, Aya.
05:41Along the six-yard line to make sure he was the front man.
05:44Just didn't get that all-important contact, but they get another chance from this corner.
05:49Well, in stark contrast to Arsenal, Brentford are yet to score a Premier League goal from a corner this season.
05:55That's a surprise for them.
05:58It's just them and Liverpool, believe it or not.
06:00They're the only two left.
06:03Could Brentford change that here?
06:09Straight out of play.
06:11Disappointing for those Brentford fans.
06:14You can see Jensen there saying, look, I put that in a good area, where were you?
06:17Yeah, just a bit too big there, Matthias Jensen.
06:20It's just about giving people a chance.
06:22You can't always guarantee that the delivery is going to be spot on, nobody can.
06:28But you've just got to make sure you give those defenders that have ventured forward an opportunity to go and attack it.
06:41You won't be surprised to learn that the win probability is very much in Arsenal's favour.
06:46Over 70%, you don't see that very often.
06:52Keith Andres would do well to tell his players that at half-time.
06:56Fire them up a bit.
06:57I saw Tottenham come here with a back five, and Marino dropping into that midfield and adding to the numbers in there.
07:11Nobody going with him, and eventually Spurs were completely outmanoeuvred in that area.
07:16Madueke, lovely burst of acceleration.
07:20White just couldn't cut it back for Marino, who was in a great position.
07:28A little snapshot there of what Noni Madueke's all about.
07:31Yeah, Ben White there wasn't really sure of what was around him.
07:35I think in situations like that, just fire it across the box.
07:38Could it with a bit of pace on it? Could it anybody?
07:41Martinelli into Zubimendi.
07:46Right where they want them here, pinned back in their own 18-yard box.
07:51White.
07:52Madueke, delighted to be isolated with Henry.
07:57Hasn't played a lot of first-team football in the last season and a half.
08:02One league start in two seasons for Henry.
08:07Gets a start tonight.
08:14Mosquera, White.
08:20Madueke, cuts inside this time.
08:24White again.
08:25Three waiting for a cross.
08:27Mosquera, Odegaard.
08:30Again, a little reluctant to whip that ball in from deep Arsenal.
08:37Three giant centre-halves, Brentford Avenue.
08:39Miquel Marino really the main threat if a ball is coming into the box.
08:43So, I think Arsenal just trying to keep it, manoeuvre it,
08:46and just try and get in a better area before they deliver it.
08:49Tonelli.
08:55Headed up in the air by Ethan Pinnock.
08:58He certainly expects Arsenal to force the possession.
09:05That's very much the case in the early stages.
09:14Madueke, lovely first touch.
09:17Jensen goes with him to help out Henry.
09:23Odegaard.
09:24Odegaard.
09:29Odegaard urged to shoot by the crowd.
09:31He does, and it's blocked by Janelt.
09:33Yeah, good block.
09:34Vitaly Janelt.
09:36Stood on his feet as long as he could,
09:38and made sure that Schulte wasn't going to give Quibi and Kelleher anything to handle.
09:43Kelleher.
09:47Calafiore.
09:49Bryce.
09:53Capien.
09:54Mosquera.
09:56Don't think we're going to be craning our necks to the left a lot in this first half.
10:00by the opening ten minutes.
10:07Martinelli.
10:09Odegaard.
10:12White.
10:15Madueke.
10:17White on the outside this time.
10:20Lifting it up beautifully.
10:22And it's into the net by Mourinho.
10:25Oh, so many people wondering why he keeps his place in attack.
10:30He's not an out-and-out centre-forward.
10:32But how many times is he there to score huge goals for Arsenal?
10:36He did it on Sunday.
10:38He's done it again tonight.
10:40And Arsenal have the early goal they crave.
10:43Well, they couldn't have started the game any more positive, could they?
10:46That is a beautiful goal.
10:48You've got to tell you, that is a brilliantly, brilliantly constructed effort.
10:53I love the work from Rony Madueke.
10:56Really clever skill.
10:58And we'll keep an eye on his run, because his run is terrific.
11:01Ben White feeds Madueke, and watch this, a couple of three touches,
11:06and then all of a sudden he puts Ben White in, and that is brilliant.
11:10And watch Mourinho, just gets across the front of Pinnock.
11:13He shouldn't do.
11:15I've got to tell you, the centre-half there is on his heels,
11:17and he's a bit sluggish.
11:19Lovely little clip ball, but it's a brilliant header.
11:21Down into the ground, hard up into the roof of the net.
11:24Keller had no chance, and just the sort of start
11:27that Mikel Arteta would have wanted.
11:28Arsenal's top scorer in all competitions this calendar year.
11:35That's his 13th goal in 2025.
11:39Behind him, Trossard with 11, Martinelli with 10,
11:43Rice and Saka with nine.
11:46That's how important he has been for Arsenal.
11:50And he's brilliant in the air, isn't he?
11:53Very good.
11:54His movement there is classic centre-forward play.
11:58He just waits for the right moment before he steps across the centre-half.
12:03Once he gets there, as you say, Gary, that header is a real accurate,
12:08powerful header.
12:10Brilliant goal.
12:12Now, do Brentford have a response here?
12:15Watara has played that inside.
12:17Linking up with Coyote, Watara once more on Calafiore.
12:22You know what's coming here.
12:23You know what's coming here.
12:34Not the start he was hoping for.
12:39As Andy said, brilliant at home, 16 points at home, just three away.
12:43Can't always rely on winning at home in this league.
12:49Can be brutal at times.
12:52Now, a change of plan.
12:56Janilt has put the ball down.
12:58Is that because the corner's been given here?
12:59I think it is, yeah.
13:00Looks like it.
13:01Not sure what they'd have preferred there, you know.
13:02Well, exactly.
13:03Exactly right.
13:04They've scored more goals from throws than corners.
13:06Janilt delivers.
13:07Iowa's in there.
13:08Didn't quite reach him.
13:09Connected by Coyote.
13:10Jensen.
13:11Janilt, who took the corner originally.
13:12Spun the possession certainly wouldn't hurt Brentford here.
13:13I think it is.
13:14Not sure what they'd have preferred there, you know.
13:15Well, exactly.
13:16Exactly right.
13:17They've scored more goals from throws than corners.
13:18Janilt delivers.
13:19Iowa's in there.
13:20Didn't quite reach him.
13:21Connected by Coyote.
13:22Jensen.
13:23Janilt, who took the corner originally.
13:24Spun the possession certainly wouldn't hurt Brentford here.
13:25Yarmulyuk.
13:26The Ukrainian.
13:27Jensen.
13:28Janilt, who took the corner originally.
13:30Spun the possession certainly wouldn't hurt Brentford here.
13:31Yarmulyuk.
13:32The Ukrainian.
13:33Jensen.
13:34Janilt.
13:35They've got three in the box here.
13:36Including Pinnock.
13:37The ball sailed over his head.
13:38It's good defending Ben White just...
13:39Just bumping into Ethan Pinnock as that ball's in the air.
13:51Just disturbs him.
13:52It's good defending Ben White just...
13:57Just bumping into Ethan Pinnock as that ball's in the air.
14:02Just disturbs him.
14:03First Premier League appearance for Pinnock since the 20th of September.
14:13A new sub in the eight since.
14:16Getting a start tonight.
14:26Straight up in the air that from Ben White.
14:33Out of play by Sepp Vandenberg.
14:36Out of play by Sepp Vandenberg.
14:38Out of play.
14:39Lots of shots.
14:40Sutping.
14:41Flour.
14:42Shotsavat.
14:43What?
14:44That's right.
14:45Blasper인.
14:46I like, baby.
14:47B誤 Vandenberg.
14:48Mourinho.
14:49roll.
14:50Tamp bun.
14:51Whoooooo.
14:53Tamp bun.
14:54Hands on the lead.
14:55Pierre.
14:56Wire takes it on and leaves it for Wottara.
15:01Pass Morino.
15:03Coyote.
15:03There's too much on that, is there?
15:07He did well just to prevent that going behind Watara,
15:10not the ball he wanted.
15:12No, given far too much to do there, didn't he?
15:16What he'd like, of course, Dango Watara.
15:18It'd be something in between the two centre-halves
15:21and maybe in between centre-half and full-back for him to run onto.
15:24That one's taken him into a really wide position anyway.
15:28Those Brentford strikers are a handful when they're running
15:31and running towards the edge of that 18-yard box,
15:35looking to get their shots away.
15:36That's when they can be very dangerous.
15:40He's predominantly a wide man, Watara,
15:43but he did play up front occasionally for Bournemouth.
15:48Now playing very much as a two with Shardet.
15:50Whether they'll get the chance to link up very often, I'm not sure.
16:01Long from Kellehan.
16:05No problem, that.
16:07Going to scare her.
16:10Odegaard.
16:12Maduwa Ke.
16:15Oh, the feet there were outrageous.
16:19He just darts past two of them.
16:22With the greatest of ease, he made that look so straightforward.
16:24It certainly wasn't.
16:25I think this next ten minutes for Brentford is massive tonight, I really do.
16:51Yeah, Martinelli, White.
16:56Well, that's a disappointing end to a very promising move from Arsenal.
17:01Yeah, he's got to go across the goal there, Ben White.
17:05But just coming back to that point about this little period for the visiting team,
17:10just get the feeling tonight this Arsenal team are on it.
17:13They're sharp.
17:13They've got one already.
17:15And they are very hungry for some more lovely footwork from Ronnie Maduwa Ke.
17:19The shot, unfortunately, straight at the goalie.
17:21But Rico Henry doesn't want to commit to too much of a challenge there in the box, does he?
17:27Not the way Maduwa Ke has started.
17:29His footwork has been lovely.
17:32He's in Saka's position, which is unenviable,
17:36because he's one of the very best in that position.
17:39That three behind the forward for Arsenal is just an embarrassment of riches, isn't it?
17:44When you look at the bench and see who they can bring on.
17:49There's those possession numbers there, Gary.
17:5172% for Arsenal already.
17:5418 minutes in.
17:57It's pretty healthy.
17:58And you would imagine, the more they keep those numbers in and around that,
18:02they're going to create situations.
18:05I think for Brentford, they have to make sure that
18:08they don't let this Arsenal team get away from them inside half an hour.
18:11Odegaard.
18:16Calafiore.
18:23Incapié.
18:27Ecuadorian finding White.
18:29By Pinnock.
18:36Calafiore who...
18:37Make the forward burst.
18:41Okay.
18:42Trying a little round-the-world spin.
18:46Calafiore with the foul on Rico Henry.
18:53Chardas on his way here.
18:55Mascara goes with him.
18:56Off the corner flag and out for a corner.
19:02Of course, Arsenal did concede from a corner, didn't they, on Sunday?
19:05At Chelsea.
19:07Yep, they certainly did.
19:10Calafiore just got in at the near post in front of all the...
19:13The Arsenal defenders on the corner of the six-yard box,
19:16the nearest of glances over everybody's head
19:18and just dropping into the far corner.
19:21Brentford set-piece coach Stephen Rice would have watched with interest.
19:26Well, Jensen's first in-swinger left a lot to be desired.
19:42What can he do with this one?
19:43Very crowded six-yard box here.
19:49Wow, with a punch.
19:50Didn't get much distance on it, though.
19:52Yenelt kept it alive.
19:55And Wattara with the strike.
19:57And out it goes for another corner.
19:59And from White's header initially, it was that dropped to Wattara,
20:03but he was out very quickly to throw himself in front of the strike.
20:1220 minutes gone.
20:14Brentford's most promising spell of the match so far.
20:18And another corner from the far side.
20:20Yeah, and the three big guys,
20:22Vandenberg, Aja and Pinnock,
20:24all together towards the back end of the six-yard box.
20:29Yenelt with it.
20:30There's the header off the bar from Schade.
20:32Wow, what a chance.
20:36Free header.
20:37He'll feel he's got to score.
20:39Simple as that.
20:42Massive let-off for Arsenal there.
20:44Did the goalie get a hand on that, Gareth?
20:45He might have done.
20:46Might be some say, but I think the fact that Kevin Shardell was that free,
20:52the pace on the delivery, he should score.
20:56Perfect flight on that ball, and he attacked it perfectly.
21:01I think Ryan might have got something on it,
21:03but great opportunity, though.
21:06That was the chance to break their duck from corners, wasn't it?
21:11And it'll give great encouragement to these Brentford players
21:14who've been on the back foot for the majority of the half.
21:18I think you're right, he does get something on this.
21:23Yeah, this is a better angle.
21:27He certainly does.
21:28It's a big save.
21:29It's a big save.
21:29If it's a foot, I think, either side of the goalkeeper,
21:33I don't think he saves that because it's too pacey.
21:36Because it's just above his head.
21:37It's a brilliant reaction from him.
21:39I'm not sure who was supposed to be marking Kevin Shardell,
21:42but whoever it was will be getting reminded at half-time.
21:47Beautifully done, Coyote.
21:48Just a little foot in there for Mardi Gras.
21:54Calafiore.
21:57Zubimendi.
21:58White.
22:11Maduweke to Odegaard.
22:16Zubimendi.
22:17Rice.
22:21Reflection actually worked out pretty well for Arsenal there.
22:23Martinelli heads wide for Rice.
22:25The army went with him.
22:30Calafiore.
22:34Scrambled it away, but that's a poor giveaway from Wachara.
22:38They've got to look after it better than that when they do win it back.
22:41If you are going to go something direct, go longer.
22:45Go higher as well.
22:46Give someone a chance to chase after it and pressurise the defender.
22:51Rolling it on the floor.
22:52Straight to Incaffier there.
22:54The move breaks down.
22:55Going to Vandenberghe.
22:59White.
22:59White.
22:59White.
22:59from
23:23Vandenberg to Shada
23:24just tried to tickle that round the corner
23:27for Watara
23:28well watched by Mosquera
23:31very silly pullback
23:35there from Henry
23:36but they were hoping to catch
23:46Brentford napping there
23:47they failed
23:48Shada against Incafio
24:03only one winner there in the air
24:05Marina
24:06Rice
24:07now Odegaard
24:10White
24:13well no question about the best moment
24:22from a goalkeeper's perspective
24:24yeah it's a great header
24:26but it's a brilliant stop
24:28it really is
24:30everybody in the stadium
24:32currently being treated to a replay of that as well
24:34I'll tell you
24:36that comes at him very fast doesn't it
24:38really quickly
24:40he does ever so well to get a hand up
24:42and get something on it
24:43you can't get better reflexes than that can you?
24:52Henry
24:53they're grafting and battling here
24:57Brentford
24:58I do feel they cannot afford to concede a second
25:09they are the fourth highest scorers in the Premier League going into this match round
25:15behind Manchester City Arsenal and Chelsea
25:17that's quite an achievement in itself
25:20well Ryan
25:27got lucky there
25:29having just made that brilliant save
25:31the last thing you want to do is
25:33gift the opposition a goal
25:35just left it a little bit short
25:37the pressure around Zubimendi was pretty hot there as well
25:41oh Henry bounced over his head
25:46there was a pullback though by Madiweke
25:48Arsenal not convinced
25:51Mikel Arteta certainly isn't
25:53I think they might have both been
25:58grabbing each other a little bit
26:01in the end it was a little blatant from Madiweke
26:03White
26:09that certainly is a foul
26:13Rishada
26:15so far
26:31Madiweke has been brilliant
26:32he's linked up very well with Ben White
26:34it's just been a slight lack of
26:37end product
26:38so far
26:40down that right side
26:41Martinelli
26:49he was fouled
26:52White
26:56from the quickly taken free kick
26:59Madiweke
26:59that's a great chance
27:13got to hit the target there
27:14Martinelli
27:15Ben White on that overlapping run
27:19he gets that clever little flick from Calafiore
27:21throws it into Martinelli
27:23he's got to be better than that
27:25I think that's a very presentable opportunity
27:27that one
27:28it's like he's just whipping that into the box
27:32he's got to get his head down over that
27:33and strike that a lot more convincingly
27:36but it's a good play again
27:37he's got to be good
27:43Kelleher
27:43it's very calm there wasn't he
27:45long from Ethan Pinnock
27:48Sharder
27:50Henry
27:55Jensen
27:57just one or two signs here that Brentford are getting a foothold in the game
28:02yeah
28:03again
28:04again
28:05I think
28:06they've been better
28:07since going behind
28:08they've
28:09they've got Sharder and Watara involved a bit more
28:12last ten minutes that possession stat has come down a lot for Arsenal
28:35yeah
28:37pressing high there
28:55the front two from Brentford
28:57left the big hole
29:00Marino
29:02so fluid Arsenal aren't they
29:04that's the centre forward there in the right back position
29:06there he is again
29:08there he is again
29:10Martinelli's made the run
29:12Aja goes with him
29:14it's very good strength by the Norwegian
29:16it's very good strength by the Norwegian
29:26Vandenberg
29:28to Coyote
29:30the Italian
29:32just coming up to the half hour mark here
29:40definitely steadied the ship
29:42Brentford
29:44it's very good strength by the German
29:54this is an Arsenal team with the most clean sheets and the fewest goals conceded in Europe's top five leagues
30:02they are very very difficult to breach
30:04they are very very difficult to breach
30:12celebrate six years in the job
30:14celebrate six years in the job
30:16Mikel Arteta on the 20th of December
30:20there's someone who Brentford fans know very well Christian Norgard left Brentford in the summer
30:26to join Arsenal
30:28to join Arsenal
30:30so far just two Premier League appearances
30:32yeah
30:34hasn't had the minutes really
30:36he would like to have had
30:38probably expected
30:40to always be fighting and battling away to try and
30:42get some serious game time
30:44the squad they have is magnificent
30:46the squad they have is magnificent
30:48Rice
30:50Martinelli
30:52White
30:54Amad Woke up against Rico Henry again
31:00oh, he did so well
31:04out it goes by Seth Vandenberg
31:08Henry needs a bit of help at times here
31:10at times here yeah his head must be spinning a little bit rico henry because
31:16noni madueke when he's had the chance just stopping and checking and twisting and turning
31:23and doing everything he can to to try and get beyond rico henry who's not had an awful lot of
31:31match minutes under his belt
31:35a bit of a conference going on there on the far post
31:40just a second corner for arsenal they too favor the in swinger so
31:48odegaard to take this one short to madueke
31:58supermendy rice madueke
32:04easily away by pinnick
32:06oh whatara oh
32:12in possession by madueke it was far too easy for arsenal
32:18beautifully done it's declin rice
32:22he kept saying hit it hit it he just waited
32:25yeah great plan declin rice could have hit it could hit it there decided to keep going and
32:32ethan pinnick did very well to stay on his feet there and then make himself as big as he can to
32:38to get that all-important block in
32:42such a magnificent player he's so important for england in the world cup next summer
32:51many balked when arsenal paid 105 million pounds for him but we've seen why
32:57it's a poor corner from noni madueke poor clearance too from watara
33:08go by jensen
33:10keith andrew straight out to say push up
33:14don't just sit in there on the edge of the box
33:16and his header rice
33:29pinnick away
33:29and coyote to lead the brentford charge
33:35shader and watara to his left
33:38he couldn't get past calafiore
33:45shader went in
33:49chance that wasn't it
33:51it looks like he was driving infield
33:54towards ricardo calafiore the defender just managed to get an important block in
33:59but those moments are going to be key for brentford as well when they turn the ball over like they did
34:04on the edge of their own box how quickly they could break forward there will be space there will be
34:10some gaps because arsenal are going to push they're going to push everybody forward we've seen calafiore
34:16and ben white in the fullback positions already high up the field look where they are now
34:22erdegaard looking for calafiore kelleher decisive
34:30booted away by mascara
34:35it's a bit of a risky header from vandenberg conceding possession rice
34:39white
34:56let it go
35:00calafiore
35:09for the game here against crystal palace when they got the goal arsenal through as
35:14the second goal didn't come and it just made things very nervy right to the end
35:20they will do
35:21brentford know that which is why they've
35:24raised their game a little bit after that first goal
35:28again for them if they get to half time and keith andrews has
35:32strong options on the bench that he can utilize if he needs to i'm sure he will
35:36then all of a sudden you start to play on them
35:40on the minds of all the supporters and you get a bit of anxiety
35:43flying around the ground and you can feel you coming back into a game all of a sudden
35:49looking back in the next three
35:55champion
35:57capia
35:59edegaard
36:00but sidesteps Jan-Eltz.
36:11Moskera couldn't quite thread it through.
36:13Here's Henry for Brentfit.
36:24Pinnock.
36:27Aja.
36:30Aja there.
36:32Well in there, hincapié.
36:36Perino, beautifully done for Rice.
36:39Oh, what a chance for Maduweke.
36:42And Rico Henry did superbly.
36:45It looked for all the world like that would be 2-0.
36:48Oh, it's great football again.
36:50Elefiori initially, that ball inside here, this one, it's a great ball that.
36:55And then he gets going, but it ends up falling for Declan Rice.
36:58He knows he's only got Maduweke far post and he's so close to finding him.
37:02Rico Henry, as you say, doing really well to track that run
37:07and make sure that he gets something on that.
37:10But lovely play again.
37:13He had to score a Premier League goal for Arsenal, Maduweke.
37:18His eyes lit up there.
37:23Fourth Arsenal corner.
37:28Here it comes from Maduweke.
37:29Maduweke.
37:30That's another disappointing delivery by his standards.
37:32It's three of them.
37:34Odegaard.
37:36By Handenberg.
37:38Rice.
37:39Zubimendi.
37:42Now White.
37:46Maduweke.
37:51Odegaard.
37:52Odegaard.
37:54Rice.
37:59White.
38:01Odegaard to lift that.
38:02Odegaard away this time.
38:04It's a coyote away, should I say.
38:07He tucks in as well when they're in that situation.
38:11Oh, hesitation.
38:12Maduweke with the chance.
38:13Henry again, super defending.
38:17Well, they nearly paid the price for hesitation at the back there, Brentford.
38:22Yeah, he's got to get the shot away there, Maduweke.
38:25Taken far too long.
38:27Brilliant play from Rico Henry, doesn't give it up.
38:29It's a bit of static ball-watching look amongst those three defenders
38:34on the edge of the box.
38:35But I tell you what, Rico Henry gets across the ground really well.
38:39Clever ball from Mosquera.
38:40But that really should have been hit long before the full-back gets there.
38:48His confidence has just gone down a little bit in the last 15 minutes, Maduweke.
38:52Those three poor corners.
38:54A couple of other crosses that hit the first man every time.
39:02He's just come on a sub the last three games, Maduweke, after 11 games out injured.
39:08He's still finding a little bit of rhythm.
39:20Frustration for Jensen.
39:22He can be a majestic player.
39:23They need him to be the link man, really, to find those front two.
39:28But inevitably he's getting dragged back to help out defensively.
39:33Yeah.
39:34He gives them a subtle pass, doesn't he?
39:36Or...
39:38He can have a little through ball.
39:39Jan Elton and Jan Miluk.
39:42Give plenty of effort, muscle and...
39:45aggression.
39:46Matthijs Jensen's just got to try and be the man to provide something for the forwards to run onto.
39:52Marino took it well.
39:59Black stayed down.
40:02Difficult attempt to that.
40:04Yeah, he could have actually looped this over the top of the defender for...
40:08Martinelli.
40:09Martinelli.
40:10This is the goal.
40:12Great movement from him.
40:13Classic movement.
40:16God of...
40:17Pinnock didn't even know where he was.
40:18And then all of a sudden, he's just...
40:20He thinks he's just about to head it and this guy appears from nowhere.
40:23Yeah.
40:25I'm sure he'd have appreciated that sort of movement.
40:28Well, he'd rather be the one scoring it himself, of course.
40:31Kai Havertz is a few weeks away from returning, by the way.
40:36So in the absence of those two, Marino's not doing bad, is he?
40:48The whistle's gone here.
40:50Now, Ayer's been penalised for handball there.
40:52He's saying, that was off my chin.
40:53Come on, Ayer!
41:01Yep.
41:03Didn't look like it hit his hand, did it?
41:04At all.
41:06And the last thing Arsenal want to do is lose a centre-back.
41:09Yeah.
41:11But Mosquera is stricken here.
41:16Well, they've got Uri and Timba on the bench.
41:20Ben White could then shift to a central defensive position.
41:22There you go.
41:23He's the one who's getting ready to go.
41:26It's just whether he lets Timba go and play centre-half,
41:28or whether Ben White stays there.
41:32Yeah, either's an option.
41:34Or, of course, Mosquera might be okay, but...
41:38With the two first-choice centre-backs out,
41:42you don't really want to lose another one.
41:43No.
41:44Such a busy time of the season, isn't it?
41:46They've got Villa away Saturday lunchtime.
41:49Club Brugge away.
41:51A week today.
41:53Wolves at home.
41:54Everton away.
41:56League Cup quarter-final against Palace.
41:57That's all before Christmas.
41:58Yeah.
41:59They're coming up thick and fast, aren't they?
42:02And always reluctant nowadays.
42:05Partly due to the size of the squads and everything else, but there's...
42:10Look at that.
42:11He was grimacing a bit in the air there, wasn't he, when he made that challenge.
42:15Let's have another look here.
42:16Look at how he lands just there.
42:19It's a little awkward.
42:20It's not the worst landing I've ever seen.
42:24He's clearly unhappy with something there.
42:27I think the change is going to happen.
42:29Yeah.
42:31He is going to be replaced.
42:35A risk not worth taking, I think, is the thought there.
42:39Saliba on the left.
42:43Just shaking his head as he sees another central defender, Povolov.
42:58So, Jurjen Timber, the Dutch defender, will replace the Spaniard.
43:03Don't be frustrated.
43:09Started against Bayern, did really well.
43:11This is just his third Premier League start and it ends before half-time.
43:15As you can see, Jurjen Timber, just out of shot on the left of the screen.
43:21He's gone into a central defensive position.
43:25Straight swap.
43:26White's throw.
43:27Nipped him round the back there, Odegaard.
43:28He's got a shot on the left of the screen.
43:29As you can see, Jurjen Timber, just out of shot on the left of the screen.
43:30He's gone into a central defensive position.
43:31Straight swap.
43:32Price.
43:33White's throw.
43:34Nipped him round the back there, Odegaard.
43:36Pinnock away.
43:37Central defensive position, straight swap.
43:52White's throw, nipped him round the back there, Odegaard.
43:57Pinnock away.
43:59Shada trying to find Matara.
44:02Here's Henry.
44:05Matara's on his way.
44:06Rai has come a long way.
44:10Marino's flick.
44:12Martinelli.
44:15Kaede will get this away.
44:17Looking at three minutes of stoppage time at the end of the half.
44:21As things stand.
44:22Board it goes by Jarmiljuk.
44:36Looking for Watara.
44:39Right, you can hear the Arsenal fans, they want a second goal.
44:55Yeah, Arsenal, you can see in terms of touches in the opposition box,
45:00over three times as many, which again, not unexpected, that.
45:05The most important stat is that one right at the top, just the one for Arsenal.
45:09It won't be the most disastrous 45 minutes that Keith Andrews has presided over,
45:15if they go in just one down.
45:17Again, he's got very good options on the bench,
45:21and all the time it's one, it just leaves Arsenal a little uneasy.
45:25I could hear the calculator in your brain whirring rapidly there.
45:29Could you?
45:30Yeah.
45:31Good maths.
45:35Maths never really my strong point, Garen, I've got to tell you.
45:38Ah, didn't hold you back.
45:42Here's the goal scorer, Marino, and it is just one goal,
45:46which was scored in the 11th minute.
45:49Here's Arsenal's number 11, Martinelli.
45:54Madhuweke.
45:54Another terrific burst from Madhuweke.
46:02Henry, though, stuck to his task.
46:05As someone who's played so little football in the last two seasons,
46:08he's been given a real examination here.
46:12Down goes Wattara.
46:15Incappier with the challenge.
46:18There's no yellow card.
46:36Well, like he said, I think Keith Andrews,
46:38although he'll be so disappointed with the goal,
46:41he'll be thinking,
46:42we've got a lot of ammunition on the bench there,
46:45and if it does stay 1-0,
46:48we might be able to snatch something
46:50just like they did last season
46:53when Luisa scored late on to get a 1-1 draw.
47:01Keith Andrews is on the coaching staff then,
47:03not head coach, of course.
47:04long throw conceded
47:14just before half-time.
47:26This is surely the last attack of the half.
47:30Coyote in towards Aya.
47:31Oh, that was a bit of a fluffed clearance in Madhuweke.
47:37That will mean another long throw.
47:44Not quite got the distance that he would like so far,
47:48I don't think, Coyote.
47:51See what this one's like.
47:54No, it's headed away by Timber.
47:57And then hoisted straight behind.
48:00That's why he throws it.
48:02And that is half-time.
48:04So Arsenal lead,
48:05but it's a slender advantage
48:06given to them by the head of Mikel Moreno.
48:10Beautifully taken goal.
48:11Arsenal well on top early on,
48:13but Sharder saw his head up from a corner
48:15tipped brilliantly onto the bar
48:17by David Ryan.
48:19That was their best chance.
48:21It's certainly not all over here.
48:23Half-time at the Emirates Stadium.
48:25Vilta Fisher the
48:29Wh rank.
48:35Now it's not on the floor,
48:36oh,
48:36it's not on.
