Summertime acquisitions Declan Rice and Kai Havertz worked together to maintain Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League title. Rice gave the Gunners the lead, but before the half, Yoane Wissa tied the score thanks to an Aaron Ramsdale mistake. Havertz delivered a huge late winner to deal a blow to Manchester City and Liverpool, saving Mikel Arteta’s team from two lost points.
Check out our main talking points below. Baby, rice, rice, please Is a signing for over £100 million ever a deal? With yet another outstanding display from Rice, who has given Arsenal’s midfield a new dimension, Arteta would think so.
Jorginho, a 25-year-old former West Ham talisman who has been granted freedom to roam, has made the transition to a premier club appear easy.
He scored the first goal with a header like a seasoned center striker, and he nearly added a second when a 25-yard drive hit the crossbar.
Ramsdale fails to catch the ball.
When Arteta replaced Ramsdale with David Raya, many spectators thought Ramsdale had been treated unfairly.
As loanee Raya was unable to play against his parent team, Ramsdale was given the opportunity to perform well, but he ultimately made a huge mistake.
In an attempt to equalize against the run of play, Wissa put himself in front of an attempted clearance as the England stopper dallied with the ball.
This summer, there will still be a significant market for his signing, and Ramsdale demonstrated his abilities with two outstanding stops in the second half.
Toney’s search
One team reportedly keen to sign Ivan Toney at the end of the current campaign is Arsenal.
The frontman had the opportunity to up his asking price with a daring long-range lob that a charging Ramsdale narrowly saved.
Toney didn’t make the scoresheet, but he did clear an early opportunity off his own line to make sure his audition went well.
The Bees striker may hold the key to Arsenal’s success since their inability to translate dominance into goals can occasionally be their undoing.
Tight on top… and underneath
Even though they were not successful, Brentford will be happy with how they performed.
Although having lost ten of their previous thirteen premier league games, the Bees had a great attitude at the Emirates and had a chance to win all three points against the highly successful Gunners.
As we approach the business end of the season, the West Londoners—who are currently only five points ahead of Luton—will realize they must start producing results.
Arsenal, on the other hand, will be overjoyed as they top the league ahead of City’s match against Liverpool the following day.
Everything in white that evening
Ben White could be the unsung hero of Arsenal.
Arteta’s style of play is heavily influenced by the technically brilliant defender, who plays the position of full-back to perfection.
His finished product is also getting better, as he sent in assists for both of tonight’s goals.
