Brentford vs. Arsenal score: Bees mark 74-year return to top flight in stunning fashion with 2-0 win

A first top flight game in 74 years was won with goals from Sergi Canos and Christian Norgaard

Brentford's first game in the top flight since 1947 ended in fairytale fashion as goals from Sergi Canos and Christian Norgaard earned the newly promoted side a thoroughly deserved 2-0 win over Arsenal. In front of the first capacity crowd at the Brentford Community Stadium since it was opened at the start of last season, Thomas Frank's side offered an intensity and energy to their press and interplay that coupled with a raucous atmosphere had Arsenal wobbling from early on. Bernd Leno and in particular Pablo Mari radiated skittishness, at times it seemed they were engaged in a battle of one-upmanship, who could play their teammate into the most trouble? Certainly, their apprehension was contagious as Calum Chambers, fearing his side were about to concede a corner, booted the ball up in the air from the byline. It came straight to Canos, who drove straight at the Arsenal right back. A swiftly taken shot fizzed through the defender's legs at such a pace that there was little Leno could do to block the effort at his near post.
