Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard admits they targeted Granit Xhaka for their shock win against Arsenal.
Norgaard admitted their plan to put pressure on Arsenal ace Xhaka worked a treat.
Norgaard said: “If you look at our midfield, it is not the most offensive so it was already quite defensive and compact, but it is mobile.
“Our plan was to close down the middle where they have good players like Granit Xhaka.
“Although sometimes they did get a bit too much space and created dangerous moments through Emile Smith-Rowe, we closed it down the whole game.
“That was one very small achievement in comparison to the whole season but we were already confident before this game and that confidence just got boosted.
“We could have played even better. It was a good start."
