After Arsenal’s midweek heroics, Mikel Arteta rang the changes with one eye on a crucial second leg in Spain.
There was a feel-good factor at the Emirates Stadium after the comprehensive midweek win over European champions Real Madrid, but Brentford were out to spoil the party, and it took until the 61st minute for the Gunners to break the deadlock.
Declan Rice produced a trademark lung-busting run before teeing up Thomas Partey for the opener as Arsenal looked to be closing the gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool to eight points.
However, Yoane Wissa hit back for the visitors 16 minutes from time as Brentford held on for a point, which leaves Liverpool with the chance to open up a 13-point gap at the top when they face West Ham
