    THE EXPLAINER

    Raya was prepared to don the club's regular all-lime green home goalkeeping kit, but as Brentford players wore yellow socks, they were deemed too close to what Raya would have worn. As a result, Arsenal's kit man had to replace the Spaniard's shorts and socks to avoid confusion on the pitch.

    WHAT NEXT FOR ARSENAL?

    Mikel Arteta's side, who were high on confidence after thrashing Real Madrid 3-0 in midweek, ended up being held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford after Arteta fielded a much-changed starting XI. The Arsenal boss will hope his star players benefit from the rest when they head to Madrid for their Champions League quarter-final second-leg fixture on April 16.
