Arsenal claimed the top of the Premier League after Kai Havertz scored a late goal to secure a tight 2-1 win over Brentford on Saturday.

The win extended Arsenal’s league winning streak to eight matches in 2024. It also lifted the Gunners above Liverpool and Manchester City as Mikel Arteta’s side had one point ahead of Liverpool.

The Reds host Manchester City on Sunday and a draw would keep Arsenal top due to goal difference.

Havertz said it was a massive win for them, especially after conceding so close to the halftime whistle.

Arsenal scored a combined 21 goals in its last four league matches, but it couldn’t replicate the attacking power against Brentford.

Declan Rice provided the first goal in the 19thafter converting Ben White’s cross.

Arteta’s side continued to dominate but Aaron Ramsdale’s blunder in the first-half added time gave Brentford a goal out of nothing.

The goalkeeper dawdled on the ball, but Yoane Wissa blocked his clearance so the ball looped into the empty net. Ramsdale paid his mistake with two great saves in the second half.

Ivan Toney nearly beat Ramsdale from 40 yards in the 55th but he managed to clear the ball away while backtracking.

He also got a one-handed save in the 71stafter tipping a header from Nathan Collins.

Arsenal finally got its winning goal when White picked out Havertz in the 86th to keep the title race alive.
