Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey scored in Arsenal's home draw with Brentford in the English Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Yoane Wissa scored late in the second half as Brentford and Arsenal played out a drab draw that leaves the second-placed Gunners 10 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Mikel Arteta made five changes from the side that so impressively beat Real Madrid 3-0 in midweek in the Champions League, and the game at Emirates Stadium lacked quality from the off.
It took until the 20th minute for the first effort on target when Kristoffer Ajer had a shot saved by David Raya when Bryan Mbeumo played him into the area.
Arsenal thought they had taken the lead minutes later when Kieran Tierney headed in Ethan Nwaneri's cross, but a video assistant referee (VAR) check showed the left-back was clearly offside.
Leandro Trossard had the Gunners' first effort on target just before the break when his low drive was pushed away by Mark Flekken in the Brentford goal.
Thomas Partey then scored the opening goal in the 61st minute after excellent work from Declan Rice. The England midfielder carried the ball from deep in his own half and set up Partey who shot powerfully past Flekken.
Brentford equalised 13 minutes later when Nathan Collins headed a ball back into the Arsenal area for Wissa to cleverly turn the ball into the net.
Partey scored four goals and provided two assists in 30 Premier League appearances for Arsenal in the ongoing season's campaign.
