Lewis-Potter goal earns Bees a 1-1 draw against Arsenal
Brentford took on the top-ranked club in the world, and were dangerous throughout. In the end, Keane Lewis-Potter's goal in the 71st minute was the final goal of the game, securing a 1-1 draw for the Bees.
Captain Jensen brings in the points
For the third consecutive game, Mathias Jensen started the game as captain, with Nathan Collins on the substitutes' bench. Across all competitions, the Bees have only lost once this season when Jensen captained the team (away at Arsenal).
Let's look at how the team has performed with each of their three different captains so far this season.

Kit points
We're more than two thirds of the way through the Premier League season now. Brentford's 100th season in red and white stripes is turning out to be a good one, as they've picked up points in all but three games when they've worn their centenary stripes.

Keith's subs
As the Arsenal game wound down, it looked like Keith Andrews was only going to make two subs in the game, a remarkable testament to the relentless effort of his starting group. However, in the final moments, Rico Henry needed to be replaced by Aaron Hickey, the third sub of the game.
The Bees have fared remarkably well when they don't make all five available subs throughout their league games this season.
