Arsenal fans react to duo’s performance in Brentford defeat

A selection of Arsenal fans reacted to the displays of Emile Smith Rowe and Kieran Tierney during the club’s 2-0 defeat to Brentford in the Premier League opener.

The Gunners went into the derby on the back of disappointing news as both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were ruled out due to illness.

Folarin Balogun and Gabriel Martinelli replaced them, but the young pair struggled to make an impression against the newly-promoted west London outfit.

The Gunners ended up with a disappointing 2-0 defeat, but things could have been worse as the Bees squandered a few clear-cut chances over 90 minutes.
