📝 Arsenal lose 100% pre-season run behind closed doors | OneFootball

Arsenal lost 2-1 to Brentford as Mikel Arteta rotated heavily against Brentford at London Colney on Wednesday.

The Gunners had won every  game of pre-season ahead of the match but two first half goals saw them lose to the Bees.

Bryan Mbeumo and Ryan Trevitt netted either side of an Eddie Nketiah equaliser.

The game saw both sides rest players, with Arsenal only arriving back from America late on Sunday and Brentford already in action on Tuesday.

Arsenal were without a whole host of regulars, with none of the players who started the weekend’s 4-0 win over Chelsea featuring at all.

Arsenal: Turner, Cedric, Walters (Awe 46), Holding, Tavares (Souza 76), Elneny, Lokonga, Maitland-Niles (Patino 85), Marquinhos, Nelson (Sagoe Jr 90), Nketiah.

Brentford: Strakosha (Cox 62), Stevens, Bech, Crama, Henry (Racic 62), Onyeka, Ghoddos (Yarmolyuk 75), Peart-Harris, Trevitt, Lewis-Potter, Mbeumo (Gilbert 75).
