LEANDRO TROSSARD grabbed his first Gunners goal after coming on as a second-half substitute for Arsenal against Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
Yet, just when the home side had hoped they would see the match out and extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table, the Bees’ Ivan Toney equalised on 74 minutes to make the score 1-1.
“I think it was a really strong performance, we had moments, it’s a very tricky team to play against,” reflected Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta after the match.
