Arsenal had a difficult match away from home, playing in a deadlock in the first half. In the second half, Madueke helped the Gunners take the lead.
However, Brentford equalized not long after, with a goal from Lewis-Potter in the 71st minute. In the remaining time of the match, both teams had opportunities but failed to take advantage of them.
At the end of the match, we had a very big opportunity, a one-on-one situation with Gabriel Martinelli but things didn't go as planned.
We must do our job well, must show the best form in each match and must also have the necessary luck to win three points each week.
We started the second half very well, especially in the first 20-25 minutes. But then, they scored and from then on we were less calm to protect the goal, play football in suitable positions, and show better discipline.
Arsenal made too many unnecessary mistakes, missed the ball and let the ball into the gaps, creating opportunities for the opponent - and they are really good at this, so they must also be praised," coach Mikel Arteta said after the match.
This draw leaves Arsenal only 4 points ahead of Man City in the race for the championship. In the previous match, Man City won Fulham 3-0.
“I think we have played well after their matches a few times this season and have won. But today it's not like that. Today we lacked something when facing Brentford.
We should have defended better in situations where they scored, even prevented them before they happened. But we didn't do that well enough," the Arsenal coach added.
Meanwhile, Brentford coach Keith Andrews emphasized that they are the team with more chances of winning. He said: "Today, in the penalty area, I am really satisfied with the movement and body language of the players.
I think we played excellently, wonderfully in almost every aspect in most of the match against a top team with excellent individuals.
In the first half, our approach to the match was effective, controlling the game and creating more good opportunities. In the second half, Odegaard's appearance changed the situation and the way they played.
They controlled the game in the first 15-20 minutes, but I think we played excellently in the last 30 minutes and were the team with more chances of winning.
