Arsenal move to top of points table with win over Brentford

Kai Havertz's brilliant goal has taken Arsenal top of the Premier League table. Arsenal beat Brentford 2–1. Manchester United, on the other hand, kept their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive with a 2-0 win over Everton. Arsenal have a chance to go further in the title race thanks to Liverpool's crucial match against Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. With their eighth consecutive win in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta's side moved one point ahead of Liverpool and two ahead of defending champions City. However, they had to recover from a huge mistake on the return of Aaron Ramsdale. In the 19th minute, Decline Rice gave the team a 1-0 lead by heading in Ben White's cross. However, in first-half stoppage time an incident occurred that Ramsdale would like to forget. It was only the second Premier League start for the England international since September. Perhaps a lack of match fitness was to blame for Ramsdale as he lost control of the ball and his attempt to clear the ball hit Yoanne Wissa and went into the goal. The Arsenal goalkeeper then made two saves for the team and then scored with a header from White's cross by Kai Havertz four minutes before half time.

Garnacho's magic for United

Everton conceded two penalties in the first half, which were converted by Bruno and Marcus Rashford. Eric ten Hag's side are now eight points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa and three points behind fifth-placed Tottenham. Who are going to face each other on Sunday.
