Havertz’s Lone Goal Secures Crucial Win for Arsenal Against Brentford

Arsenal moved to the Premier League’s top spot by securing a 1-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday.

Although Leandro Trossard’s goal for Arsenal was disallowed by the video assistant referee in the first half, Brentford faced a tough defeat with notable goal-line clearances from Declan Rice and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Arsenal’s Substitute Kai Havertz ultimately sealed the late, dramatic win with a header.

With David Raya unable to play against his parent club, Arsenal’s goalkeeper Ramsdale navigated through a few tense moments, and a crucial clearance by Declan Rice thwarted Brentford’s Yoane Wissa from scoring after an early mistake by Ramsdale near his goal.

The triumph propelled Arsenal to the summit of the Premier League, surpassing Manchester City and Liverpool, who drew 1-1 in the lunchtime kick-off.
