Brentford boss Thomas Frank enjoyed a “crazy” introduction to the Premier League after they shocked Arsenal in the season’s opener.

The Bees announced their arrival in the top flight in style as goals from Sergi Canos and Christian Norgaard secured a memorable 2-0 win.

A below-par Gunners side missing captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and fellow striker Alexandre Lacazette were deservedly beaten.

They might not stay there for long, but Brentford have already shown they will be a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League this season.

Arsenal and Arteta have plenty to ponder, however. The Spaniard said: “We are really disappointed the way we started the season. Were they soft goals? Yes.

“I don’t want to use excuses. We had a team out there good enough to achieve a different result.

“We know we have to improve. We have big games coming up and we need a different performance to get a better result.”
