Arsenal saw that the Premier League title escaped a little more sight on Saturday evening, with Brentford leaving the Emirates Stadium with a point after a 1-1 tie.
Neither side made too many possibilities, but Thomas Partey gave the Arsenal the advantage with the first attempt of the second half about an hour.
But the Gunners could not take advantage of it and they could not have many complaints when Yoane Wissa canceled the strike with an improvised end in the 74th minute.
As the game was deployed
It was a slow start of both teams in terms of creativity. Brentford quickly settled in a good pace and Arsenal did not do much to try, with threats that frustrated when Ethan Nwaneri tried to block -and the head of Partey on the goal did not come to anything.
The first clear opportunity went to the visiting bees halfway through, the overlapping kristoffer ajer fired a low effort saved by the legs of the former Brentford Tap, David Raya.
Arsenal began to increase the pace later and had the ball on the net through Kieran Tierney. But the left -handed head was discarded out of play.
As half progressed, Ajer was good to launch himself in front of a shot by Gabriel Martinelli, who had stuck to a ball diagonally in the box. Leandro Trosard almost removed a pigeon that had landed on the grass of the emirates with a fierce shot spoken by Mark Flekken.
Arsenal maintained this pressure once the game resumed after the interval. It was not yet a case of chance after random, but they deserved the advantage when Partey appeared at the time. The counterattack moved from the back to the front in seconds, starting when Raya claimed a corner of Brenford and released quickly. Declan Rice headed forward with the ball and handed a cross to an unmarked part, whose strong side foot dragged the back of the net.
Brentford let a promising opportunity headed for his own break, seeing frustrating Bryan Mbeumo’s cross attempt easily. But they got a second bite in the cherry from the resulting corner, recycling the ball after an initial authority and Wissa managing to paste -on the net at the turn when a cross returned to the box.
Arsenal Finally, he had to finish the game with ten players when Jorginho suffered a late and Mikel Arteta had already used the five permitted substitutions.

Mikel Arteta made five changes from the team that started the 3-0 wins about Real Madrid mid week. Jurien Timber, Martin Odegaard, Myles Lewis-Skelle and Mikel Merino fell on the bench. So did Bukayo Saka.
Saka does not become long -term injuries and preserve its physical form for the rest of the campaign is crucial, less for the Premier League, but if the artillers realize a real possibility to claim a first title in the Champions League.
In this game it seemed very clear that the domestic front is no longer its priority.
The rotation was also a first start of the Premier League for Kieran Tierney since May 2023, much for the delight of fans at the stadium and online. The Scotland International will soon pass at the end of the contract, already confirmed that it will return to the old Celtic club.
After the greater performance of the Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium against the champions of Europe reigning, it could be expected that the next would be a bit flat.
It took a long time to start, the clear possibilities were at least and the Gunners saw a lot of work.
The result means that Liverpool is ten clear points and needs only three more wins from its remaining seven accessories to Mathematically claim Premier League Title.
This begins with the Sunday visit of West Ham United to Anfield, followed by a day away against an unfortunate City Leicester on Easter Sunday. A week later, assuming that Arsenal has not fallen to the east, Liverpool could seal the title against Tottenham Hotspur.
The Arsenal could be divided by this, in the hope that its neighbors in northern London would do them a favor, or just wanting to see that the Spurs were struck knowing that the title will inevitably go to Anfield, either to the next three games or the next seven.
Yoane Wissa is only the second Brentford player to accumulate 50 implications of the Premier League, after his 41st goal above nine assists.
Ivan Toney did not get as many for the club, with Bryan Mbeumo the only other bee star to reach half a century since the promotion in 2021.
Wissa reached only £ 8.5 million that summer and has proven to be an excellent servant.
