After a goalless first half, the Gunners took the lead when Leandro Trossard struck at the back post four minutes after coming off the bench.

But Brentford got the reward their excellent away performance at Emirates Stadium deserved when Ivan Toney nodded in Christian Norgaard’s cross from close range.
