Eberechi Eze struggled to make an impact in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Brentford (Shutterstock)Jermain Defoe singled out Eberechi Eze for criticism after Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Brentford on Thursday evening. Eze, meanwhile, struggled to make an impact against Brentford and Arsenal’s £67.5 million summer signing was substituted at half-time for Martin Odegaard. When asked if he felt that it was an uncharacteristic performance from Arsenal, Defoe told Premier League Productions: ‘I think so, yeah.
