Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was involved in a calamitous mistake on his return to the line-up to gift Brentford an equaliser.

The ball ricocheted off his leg and bounced into the back of the net.

It couldn't have happened at a worse time for Arsenal with the incident coming on the stroke of half-time.
