So close to a second! Rice strikes the woodwork from distance 😫 🔴 1-1 🔵 (74)
Declan Rice hits the corner of the crossbar/post after the ball is set back by Odegaard. Good hit which was so close
Arsenal going through the gears here. Gabriel went close, Rice has a shot blocked. Brentford under big pressure.
Havertz booked
Is there anything Declan Rice can't do? His goal against Brentford means this is now the best goalscoring season of his career. #ARSBRE | #AFC https://t.co/0XeKLIQneX
Almost a second for Arsenal. Great ball in behind by Jorginho and a great touch from Havertz. He clips it over Flekken but it goes just wide

It's Declan Rice! 🎯 Arsenal take the lead at the Emirates 🔴 https://t.co/xL0yRpujgm
The goal comes from a Ben White cross in the inside channel. He’s been taking up those positions whenever Saka is double up on. The winger draws them wide and it leaves space for the full back to play. Great headed from Rice.
Perfect example from Rice’s header as to Arsenal’s adaptability when teams (this case is Brentford) double up on wingers. Get the FB close in support, either edge of the box or underlap. Overload the back-post with crashing CMs. Wrote this in December: https://t.co/O8HezQomVr
Advantage @Arsenal 🎯 The hosts capitalise on their strong start, with Ben White sending an inviting cross into the box for Declan Rice to nod in! #ARSBRE https://t.co/pKHSW7BuGQ
Declan Rice is worth every penny. #COYG https://t.co/9WWxm41kxG
Beautiful header by Rice.
“Their eyes are full of skies” Declan Rice finishes off Ben White’s cross. Great timing. #COYG
Declan Rice was worth every penny. #COYG
THE BREAKTHROUGH! 🔓 Rice rises highest to connect with White's cross and give us a deserved lead! 🔴 1-0 🔵 (19) https://t.co/pxI9CEQ67I
Arsenal lead 1-0. White crosses and Rice plants an excellent header past Flekken.
1-0 Arsenal! Declan Rice with the header to break the dead lock. Ben White with the cross from the inside channel.
Penalty appeal waved away. Lovely ball from Jorginho over the top which Trossard heads into Odegaard's path. He doesn't keep his feet under a challenge
Arsenal's press already causing Brentford problems. Box of Odegaard, Havertz, Rice and Jorginho forces a wayward pass to Saka. He eventually finds Trossard who wins a corner which almost goes straight in from Rice
Fair to say @T_Deeney has been impressed by the impact Declan Rice has had on Arsenal this season! 👀 https://t.co/sjLxzW6gGT
