In a tense Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium, Kieran Tierney appeared to break the deadlock and net his first goal of the season, only to see it chalked off for offside.
The moment came in the 27th minute when Tierney headed home what looked like a vital opener. However, after a VAR review using semi-automated offside technology, the goal was disallowed—leaving both the defender and Arsenal fans disappointed.
Making his first start since May 2023, Tierney was eager to make an impact, but the decision summed up a frustrating evening for the Gunners. Despite dominating possession and creating several chances, Arsenal couldn’t find a way past Brentford, and the match ended in a 0-0 stalemate.
Manager Mikel Arteta rotated the squad following a midweek Champions League win over Real Madrid, giving starts to young star Ethan Nwaneri and veteran Jorginho, who wore the captain’s armband. Still, the team struggled to convert their control of the game into goals.
As the campaign heats up, Arsenal will be hoping to make the most of key opportunities like these to stay competitive in the league.
