Even though Arsenal are not playing as well as before but in this match they still had a much better performance than Brentford. I think it could actually be a win without retaliation, it's just that the blunder was really unfortunate. Ramsdale looked sloppy, if only he had chosen to give the ball to William Saliba then the blunder could have been avoided. Even in the 55th minute Ramsdale almost made another blunder, where his position is too far from the crossbar, but luckily he was able to parry Ivan Toney's long-range shot.
With this victory, Arsenal is now at the top and it is even quite possible for Arsenal to remain in first place if the match between Liverpool and Man City ends in a draw.
The match between Arsenal and Brentford really tested the emotions of Arsenal supporters who previously thought that the match would be very easy like when against Sheffield United before, but they did not think that Brentford is actually a team that is difficult to beat, indeed currently Brentford's position is far from Arsenal but precisely since the first time Brentford was promoted to the Premier League Brentford will always drain the energy of Arsenal players such as yesterday game.
Martinelli absence affected the sharpness of Arsenal's left-wing attack and I think in that game Trossard failed to replace the role left by Martinelli and made the attack more dominant from the right wing and it was clearly evident by the process of the two goals that took advantage of through passes from the right wing, despite the victory it looks like Arsenal will start to consider the future of Ramsdale who often blunders and that is Perhaps the reason Arsenal currently trust Raya more as Arsenal's main goalkeeper than Ramsdale, Arsenal 2-1 win gives Arsenal temporary hope to lead the table before the Liverpool and Manchester City match starts today.
A good win by Arsenal to secure the top position in the EPL table and it was a good game but I am impressed with BRENTFORD who fought very well and put Arsenal in a hard situation until Havertz struck and put Arsenal forward. The trust of Arteta in Havertz upon facing criticism on its playing eleven and he proves everyone wrong.
