Thomas Partey’s goal at the end of a lightning fast counter-attack was not enough to take all three points against Brentford.

Then Rice started a move that resulted in Gabriel Martinelli winning a corner with a near post shot. Aside from that though, there was little incident of note in the opening 20 minutes. Raya was called into action midway through the half, saving with his legs when Kristoffer Ajer broke into the box from right back.

The full back, making his first Premier League start since May 2023, planted his header beyond Mark Flekken, but replays showed he’d drifted offside at the crucial moment. The visitors were arguably lucky not to be a man down when Christian Norgaard dived in with a scissor-challenge on Martinelli. The referee deemed it only worthy of a yellow card. A vit
