Havertz sends Arsenal top after Ramsdale howler
Arsenal's Kai Havertz scored a late winner to put them top of the Premier League despite keeper Aaron Ramsdale's calamitous first-half error in a 2-1 home win over Brentford on Saturday, as the Gunners recorded an eighth league victory in a row.
The hard-fought win puts Arsenal in provisional top spot on 64 points, one point ahead of Liverpool and two in front of Manchester City - who play each other at Anfield on Sunday.
