Ramsdale returns to help Arsenal beat Brentford in Carabao Cup

Arsenal moved into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup as Reiss Nelson's goal secured a 1-0 victory at Brentford on Wednesday.

Nelson, making his first start of the season, struck his first goal of the campaign in just the eighth minute after being found by Eddie Nketiah following an errant back pass from the Brenford defence.

Arsenal failed to add to their lead and in the second half were grateful for a standout save from goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to turn a goal-bound shot from Yoane Wissa onto the post.

Ramsdale was making his return to the starting lineup after being benched for the last three games as manager Mikel Arteta preferred David Raya, who is on an initial loan from Brentford.

The win maintained Arsenal's unbeaten start to the season through eight games.
