Kai Havertz' late strike helps Arsenal beat Brentford 2-1, move to top of Premier League table

Firstpost  

The north Londoners’ eighth successive league victory lifted them one point clear of previous leaders Liverpool. AP London: Arsenal moved to the top of the Premier League in dramatic fashion as Kai Havertz spared Aaron Ramsdale’s blushes with a crucial late strike in Saturday’s 2-1 win against Brentford. “It’s a joy to be part of this league and a joy to be part of something special that we are trying to achieve.” The much-maligned Havertz’s ninth goal since his move from Chelsea underlined Arsenal’s hunger to make amends for blowing an eight-point lead in the title race last season. Ramsdale was making his first league start since the Gunners’ last meeting with Brentford on 25 November because Arsenal’s first-choice keeper David Raya was ineligible to face his parent club.
