Kai Havertz heads home Arsenal's second goal during the Premier League match against Brentford at Emirates Stadium. Photograph: Richard Heathcote/Getty ImagesKai Havertz headed home a late winner against Brentford to send Arsenal top of the Premier League and spare the blushes of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Ivan Toney, linked with Arsenal throughout January, cleared an inswinging Rice corner off the line early on but unlike recent games away from home Arsenal did not have everything their own way in the opening stages. Brentford smelled blood and after the interval Toney attempted an audacious effort with Ramsdale off his line, but this time he made a good stop to turn the goalbound strike behind.

The game was opening up into an end-to-end contest as Rice rattled the crossbar with a bending effort from outside the box, with nerves creeping in around the Emirates Stadium. Sean Dyche’s men settled and continued to threaten, only to be punished by a Rashford penalty after Ben Godfrey fouled lively Argentina international Garnacho.

Jean-Philippe Mateta’s early opener at Selhurst Park looked to be the winner until Woodrow converted, extending the Eagles’ Premier League-leading tally of late goals conceded in the process.
