  • 90'
    Full-time, and Arsenal have beaten Brentford 3-1! Ultimately a comfortable win for Arsenal, one 15-minute spell aside Brentford looked severely outclassed.

de Arsenal en el 90'
  • 90'
    GOAL! LACAZETTE! 3-1 TO ARSENAL! The ball rebounds off Jeanvier kindly, sending the French striker through, and he dispatches a confident finish past Daniels!
  • 90'
    Four more minutes for Brentford to find a leveller!
  • 89'
    Barbet goes down as he breaks into the area, but Mike Dean is in agreement with VAR that he's made the most of minimal contact from Lichtensteiner.
  • 87'
    Alexandre Lacazette fires well over after good interplay with Aaron Ramsey.
  • 85'
    The microphones are unusually close to the managers, and I've just heard Dean Smith scream "come on lads, switch on!". He's got the right idea, they've not looked likely for about 20 minutes.

    This is a totally different atmosphere now, the Emirates is jumping!

de Brentford en el 58'
  • 58'
    GOAL! JUDGE FOR BRENTFORD! 2-1! A superb free-kick over the wall, and Leno can do absolutely nothing!
  • 57'
    Guendouzi brings down a Brentford player right on the edge of the area - this is a wonderful chance for Brentford...
  • 54'
    CLOSE! Smith-Rowe has a crack from inside the box, but it's always curling the wrong side of the post.
  • 52'
    CLOSE! Sergi Canos sends a bobbling shot from the edge of the box about a foot wide of Leno's goal. By far the best we've seen from Brentford.
  • 50'
    CLOSE! Alex Iwobi fires just over from the edge of the box - NOW Arsenal are hungry for another one!
  • 48'
    SAVE! Mykhitaryan almost puts the tie beyond doubt, but Daniels is out quickly to smother the Armenian.
  • 46'
    We're back underway as Brentford kick off!
  • 45'
    Half-time - 2-0 to Arsenal! A Danny Welbeck double has been enough for Arsenal to totally dominate this match. Brentford have literally never looked threatening.
  • 45'
    Four additional minutes until half-time here.
  • 42'
    It's hard to overstate how far out of the context of this match that goal was in terms of quality. Beautiful to watch.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Arsenal en el 37'
  • 37'
    GOAL! WELBECK AGAIN! 2-0 ARSENAL! This is a beauty, as Welbeck finishes off a flowing team move with the simplest of finishes. A rare moment of quality in this match.
  • 36'
    Konsa is booked after a nasty trip on Rob Holding as the Arsenal player broke.
  • 33'
    Brentford centre-back Janvier is down with a stiff neck, which is being stretched by the physio. This has been pretty scrappy since the goal.
  • 31'
    Unai Emery will take heart from the fact that his counterpart Dean Smith has played five matches against Premier League opponents in his life, and lost every one of them.
  • 29'
    ...and nothing comes of it.

  • 28'
    Lichtsteiner goes into the book for bringing down Sergi Canos. Free kick for Brentford...
  • 26'
    Guendouzi has gone down hard here, and looks as though he's in real pain.
  • 24'
    Alex Iwobi swings a cross-cum-shot into the area, but it drifts harmlessly wide.
  • 22'
    It's gone a bit quiet here. The Gunners are dominating possession totally, but they don't seem hugely interested in getting forward yet.
  • 20'
    Alex Iwobi goes down in the box, but neither VAR nor Mike Dean the referee are interested.
  • 15'
    Somewhat better from the Bees, who win a corner. It doesn't come to anything, but still.
  • 11'
    Brentford can't get out of their own half now, that goal has given Arsenal real confidence.
  • 7'
    CLOSE! Smith-rowe goes through on goal, but a fine late tackle prevents him testing Daniels in goal.

    GOAL! WELBECK! 1-0 Arsenal! The Arsenal man barely has to climb to head home from a corner. Shocking defending there, but Arsenal are ahead.
