Arsenal defeated Brentford 3-1 and secured a Carabao Cup progress with Danny Welbeck doubling the score in the second-half. The England international has four goals in six games this season and is the only Premier League player to score in three different club competitions in 2018/19. Of the nine changes it was unsurprisingly Welbeck who most advanced his claim for a regular starting spot, extending his impressive run of form under Emery having come so close to leaving the club in the summer. It took the England international just five minutes to open the scoring, courtesy of a superb piece of play from Mattéo Guendouzi and remind Arsenal new coach Unai Emery of his quality.
