HIGHLIGHTS | Arsenal vs Brentford (2-1) | Saka & Emile Smith Rowe 🎶
Second-half goals from Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka were enough to seal another important victory on Saturday as we beat Brentford to keep the heat on in the hunt for the top four.
With the results of our rivals mainly going our way of late, we knew a win here was imperative - and the way we started underlined that.
We immediately asserted our dominance and didn’t take the foot off the pedal throughout the first half, although we didn’t have anything to show for it.
With the electric Martin Odegaard pulling the strings, we spent the opening 45 minutes camped in the Brentford half and created a series of openings with our quick, one-touch attacking.
Bukayo Saka was first to try his luck, before Alex Lacazette saw a shot blocked and then our captain had a goal disallowed for an agonisingly tight offside call.
Odegaard was everywhere, pushing and pulling the Bees defence every which way, but we just couldn’t find the breakthrough - with Lacazette soon dragging a shot wide from the edge of the area.
We started the second half in much the same manner, but this time we barely had any time to wait for the breakthrough as Lacazette found Smith Rowe on the left, and he burst into the box before curling the ball low into the far corner.
We continued to come forward as we looked to kill off the game, but Brentford remained stubborn opponents and began to push on themselves.
But just as the tension was rising, we killed off the game in devastating fashion, Thomas Partey finding Saka to the left of the box and he drilled a fine strike into the far corner.
That strike meant we have scored 20 Premier League goals by players aged 21 or under in a single season for the second time, after 2008/09.
There was still time for Christian Norgaard to poke home from close range, with the goal awarded after a VAR check, but it was too late to ever seriously threaten the result.
The full-time whistle we greeted with a big roar, as it signalled our second successive victory since the winter break and kept us firmly in touch with our top-four rivals.

Odegaard sooo classy today. He was a level over the defenders.
Why was Henry's goal canceled?
Yap he just needs to shoot more abs work on his finishing
Yeah, classy against Brentford !! 😁
@@stevebandit1964 Its harder to play against Brentford than Spuds.
I am sure RM fans would demand for some answers of the Club for letting him go. Ordegaad is going to be our best player in most of the games and RM could not keep the ball well against PSG for long and badly needs a player like him.
Look at how disappointed the defence , including ramsdale when they conceded the goal. The standard is now to keep a clean sheet every game! Such difference compared to the past where every corner might result in a goal. Progress and trust the process!
if it's leno he would just accept it. Im glad arteta got ramsdale, really improving our defense morale and discipline
Bc they all thought he was offside
@@ez_games4893 no not about the offside reaction. We were referring to the reaction after the goal was given.
@@busetgadapet spot on
I am now not even worried about the defence anymore with stalwarts like Gabriel and Ramsdale and of course Benjamin White who seems to be improving every week. I never thought I would say this after how our defence has been in recent years 😂
don't forget b white
I never thought there would be any arsenal fan saying that 😂
Defensive dark times with Mustafi and Marí it seems to be over.
No credit to white???
we have a solid line, that's what at stake here, Gabriel, B white, Ramsdale, KT, Tomi we need them all
Our young stars ✨ are shining Saka + Smith Rowe = 🔥🔥🔥
best youngsters in the league
@@Josh-oy7zp Of course they are
+Ø
Hey guys, I have created a football channel and would be keen to get some constructive feedback if possible in order to improve. Cheers
@@Josh-oy7zp Dont forget Martinelli, he is brilliant player.
I know saka and Smith-Rowe was good today but odegaard was absolutely amazing today
Gabriel-White were definitely amazing today
What he did ?? Normal game.. nothing extraordinary
@@arsenalgunnaz6368 u must be blind
@@tarooqhindu4675 fr he's blind
@@tarooqhindu4675 ha ha yuh lame.. nothing extraordinary to me then.. otherwise from that one shot from outside the box 18..props for that .. we need more of those shots.. partey was the man today .. even wasteman xhaka play better than odegard
Odegaard & Partey were superb.
From Thailand. I love this club from my age were 15 years old to 40 now. Nowadays I cheered with expectations to be no.1 in EPL and UCL as soon as possible it.
hello from Malaysia 🇲🇾 COYG
We Will🔥🔥
Yeszaaa …. Im also love the gooners since 17y ..and now 41yr old.. 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
*PL no E.
Hello paapa
Saka with a FIFA like goal 🔥
Facts L2 + Circle= power shot
Don't forget how smart partey while he let saka to get the position before he give the assist.. No thomas No partey.. ♥️♥️
Yep 🔥
Don't forget how smart saka was to stay onside before partey pass him the ball
yeah he delayed the pass very well
Our young boys have done it again! Top 4 here we come! 🔴⚪️😎
Don’t jinx us brh😭
@@salutetolife8083 😂 nah bro gotta be positive! We’ll get it
Where's your famous UCL?
@@wehatethemancs7075 🥱🥱🥱 where’s your invincible trophy 🥶
Here we come? Too early bruh. These team are young. Let them go wild and keep supporting. Maybe we going to be lucky and finish in champions league
Ødegaard looking like Özil out there 👏🏻
Better than Ozil. Pops up everywhere on the pitch and presses like his life depends on it.
Bit harsh, I thought he looked good
Better...works harder
Odegaard is my man of the match
That assist from partey 🔥
What a crazy and fantastic run from Tierney beautiful decoy🥳🥰🥰
People easily forget the defense is strong is all because of Arteta. That department is paying off now.
Any Top top side become that thru the defensive stability, Arsenal is definitely building something
Arteta is Fraud
Gng to better with Saliba
@@basharissa4174 Fraud because he cut the cancer out of the team. Ozil, Guendouzi to begin with...
@@basharissa4174 You ain't a fraud though are you! LOL
Odegard was excellent today...COYG
This is the Odegard we've been waiting for all this time..
Same as Partey the boss in the midfield that we need
Nope, he actually missed a sitter (just the GK was to beat)
You don’t play Brentford every week
@@Shreyy17 He could have passed to Pepe as well but that's alright. He'll improve
@@quanges Yeah. When we lost to Brentford same people were crying and enjoying about how Arsenal lost to them. And now when you beat them, it's just Brentford? Hypocrites
laca doesn't score often but he's pretty important for the team right now.
dont know why that goal didnt count but it was offside, even tho he was onside...
@@Gunnerzzz1 it was Tierney who was offside
Partey 🔥
I love these lads so much Bukayo and Emi, are legend potential, with the right sqaud. No reason these lads along with Tierney, Ramsdale, Tomi and both Gabi's cant win a CL or PL in their lifetimes.
This game shows you how important a second goal is. Imagine conceding that late if we were only a goal up. Well done lads.
All the way from Nairobi Kenya. I love this do or die commitment from these young players. We love arsenal and you are making us love it even more😉
Bazuu
Wacha ushoga
@Mo 2k wacha kuchomea arif wetu
@@walterthairu8099 acha kuwabaka wavulana wadogo
Big love to the Kenyan gooners from this American gooner. Arsenal forever!
Imagine we get a clinical number 9 then the goals from saka and smithrow..... We will be almost unstoppable
I'll always say this, Protect Saka & ESR at all costs!!!!!!
Smithrowe, Saka Next Legends
You must keep this young saka he is 🔥🔥
Sometimes I want him to pass the ball in the 3rd
Arteta knows what he does with youngsters so he'll try and keep him.
Ah them young guns at it again. Most valuable players towards the end of the season than ever. Keep the winning momentum going lads🙏
Also from Thailand. My team is improving all the time and a goal scoring centre forward must be an absolute priority in the summer to put the finishing touch to a bunch of young men who are beginning to show great maturity. Credit to the manager also who has been the subject of much unwarranted criticism.
Nice English 👍🏻
I'm loving how this team keeps improving! love our defence, saka..ESR and odeegard are outstanding...Great keeper! Just need striker n midfielder n were nice
Smith rowe🔥🔥🔥
this season relies heavily on young gubs that are very fantastic. hopefully we can back to UCL and of course with a better squad later
Huge result 💯 so happy for Saka & Smith Rowe 👏🏽
My man Thomas Partey bossing it 🔥
He’s rubbish average CM at best.
@@danielsmith874 Xhaka fanboy or Salty rival which one clown. Partey is a baller cry
Did a great job breaking up the play
@@E3boss2003 average player at best took 10 years to release that ball for saka to score. Misplaces passes to often been at Arsenal how long now? Not good enough. Xhaka ain't much better.
@@danielsmith874 Xhaka will get sold hes crap in the summer go with him. Partey will be in the Arsenal midfield next year MY CM
Odegaard was fantastic this match! Great game! 🔥🔥🔥
Saka made sure he was not offside for the second goal,that is what Laca ought to have done,the amount of crosses Arsenal were putting in yet we have no target man was frustrating, anyway 3 points in the bag.COYG 💪🏿
Target man refers to back to goal. Penalty box striker is what you've referring to.
Laca wasn't offside. It was Granit.
@@AdeKingProductions Oh ok,my bad
@@definitelyannpc2038 A target man simply means a striker,Laca in this case is our target man,but he doesn't play that role well
@@noah2906 Chris Wood is a target man, Bobby Firmino is a false 9 and Dusan Vlahovic is a penalty box striker.... Please educate yourself and look up the differences.
Let this squad lead us to champions league once again I love 💕 my team so much
Man I swear the referee is the only one who can drill through Gabriel x Ben White right now as they're too damn solid
Let's chill... we have Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham in a few weeks... let's hope they remain solid for those games. Getting a result from these three will really help our top 4 hopes. 💪🏾
all cred to the Arsenal players sticking with Arteta in thick and thin. what an amazing manager who knows how to handle the young ones to shine! love that Ødegaard is back at his confidence, he is a wizard when he is on fire! godd luck thios season, Gunners! from a Chelseafan!
Missile rocket @second goal, wow!!!
Saka. Give that guy a medal. What an incredible finish
The young guns strike again! 💪 COYG let’s get top 4!
I'm upset that Ramsdale didn't get his cleansheet. We got the win and we'll still be below West Ham from goal difference granted we do have games in hand. But we move forward and I hope we improve. We should've got more today.
yes we have games in hand and everyone mentions this but we shouldn't forget that those games are the ones against Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham etc. I just hope the boys don't drop off points against the teams we SHOULD beat. Wolves up next will prove a challenge tho, they may be seeking revenge after that 1-0
West Ham are not in the top 4 race man.
@@where1sREO all the teams competing for the top 4 have to face the big teams as well.. it’s just important that we do our part and hope for the best
Consistency in this form is a must .Need this class of spirit against the top clubs. Go Gunner
The best Team right now 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those two goals were mad good
Saka x smith Rowe have a bright future
ESR and Saka have really grown
Where would we be with Saka & ESR give them 10 year contracts! 🔴⚪️😮💨
oh i like it i like it
This was my first arsenal game I’ve ever been too and I was delighted with the game, could’ve got a couple more and gutting to concede late on but we got the 3 points and that’s all that matters
So proud as a fan of arsenal
Odegaard the unsung hero
WE LOVE YOU, ARSENAL! 🔴⚪
We need Odegaard highlights
Hoping Tomi returns step by step🙏
Who else was screaming at Partey to pass when he broke through and it was a 3v2?
He was waiting for Saka to get onside
@@peeper2070 he was onside fir a good time. I think he was thinking if he should play the pass or not
@@nightdash8938 Partey has a tendency to freeze just when he should let loose.
@@nightdash8938 Nah, he did the right thing by holding onto it a bit longer and moving the ball up the field by himself. I think the pass could have been a little better though.
I thought he was drawing the defenders to himself whiles Saka takes a better position to score.
If we keep winning we can reach top 3🔴⚪ COYG
No red card in this game, good job
I always love England, the country that willing to give the opportunities for the blind people to get a job, now they are even the refs of the pl.
You put a smile on my face thumps up
Lool you got me for a sec 🤣
The most underrated comment
Saka goal was brilliant
Very hard fought match by Moss and the PGMOL but we just edged it 🤲🏿💯🤣🤣
If Ordegard wasn’t so divinely gifted, I’m certain smith role would have made that number 10 position his own.
Hale end shining bright ❤💪🏽🤟🏼
Young Gunners ... Rowe Saka ...💪
Incoming UnClassic Commentary with Saka and ESR
Odegaard is not just some player He is an intelligent player.
How on earth does Saka scores from that angle 😳
I really also don't know iam trying to figure it out but .....
He’s left footed
he learn from Van Persie
@@04foreverinvincible69 doesn’t mean nothing…90% of left footers will miss…ask Pepe
Stunning Saka ❤️👑
Selfish at times
Just love this dude bukayo he's very talented
A well deserving victory cuz we dominated the game through out
Beautiful. Lovely shot from Saka. And ESR must be 85 OVR at least in AMF position. So beautiful!!!
Saka agreat player shaking all the fields the defences & all the goals surely the heart of Arsenal.
Young guns ❤️! Also we need to buy striker next season!
Here we goooooo ohhh 🗣️
ESR is absolutely shining. Takes every chance he gets to score. He surely has an incredible career ahead of him
Great effort from our Hale End products, but we still relied too much on ground passes and long crosses. We need to make more head flicks and short lobs as Man City/ Liverpool have been doing
We are not man city or Liverpool dammit!!
We are the Arsenal mate
@@EpicTube84 But we're trying to reach their creativity level in the final third
@@containedhurricane I get what you're saying but the others are right. We have always been the team everyone said was easy on the eye, creative, beautiful to watch. During that time, we played on the ground and created artwork on the ground. Our best team goals are still unmatched IMO. That is the Arsenal way. We've fallen off that level in recent years but the Arsenal style of playing on the ground is *our* DNA and when we have it again, in my opinion, it is more stunning to watch than Man City or Liverpool's style.
We are giving this top four race a run, let's grab it with both hands. Good team performance
Iam Manu bro
When u sitting quietly in a group of people and just scream YEEEEESS!!!!!!!! ....best feeling in the world especially at 95 minutes
The way Smithrowe dribbles 🤩
Esr master when running with the ball...9 goal even only often comming from bench.. Arsenal really should renew his contract n raise his salary
He renewed his contract for 5 years at the start of the season mate 😂
Esr is arsenal Steve Gerrard..he will stay
COYG🔥
With spurs beating city i hope we can keep the consistency going
These young man..❤️
I'm really enjoying this ARSENAL ... young, hungry and passionate players ... with passionate, ambitious manager who got a clear philosophy and stable playing style... HERE WE GOOOOO SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWEEEE
COYG🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ngl that Brentford goal got me pissed.
Good old Arsenal 👍🏽
Not easy to brake Brentford defence almost 11 person block the gunners attack in own box... Only the counter make valuable 👏👏 coyg🔥
Saka almost did the mbappe celebration
Esr is the man to watch.period.
Here after AON ⚽️
Saka and Emile Smith Rowe!!❤️❤️❤️
COYG🦅🔥
With Tomiyasu just missing and still dominate at defence. Stalwart made a big improvement at the back. With how our back line has been. "Rocking all over the world",my young guns are firing Everytime. The team is getting stronger just need good squad player at that bench now.COYG
Great team work❤️❤️❤️
I m from Eritrea love arsenal elwysi arsenal my best player
Nice one my guys 😊💝
ESR goal was superb good goal by Saka
Just think about the Norway attack now Haaland plus odegaard It’s gonna be lit 🔥
