Havertz header moves Arsenal to the top of the Premier League after 1-0 win against Brentford

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:11:46 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Kai Havertz’s 89th-minute goal fired Arsenal to the top of the Premier League on Saturday after a 1-0 win at Brentford. Mikel Arteta’s team looked set to miss out on the opportunity to move into first place after Manchester City and Liverpool drew 1-1 earlier in the day. But Havertz came up with a decisive header to score his first goal from open play for Arsenal since joining from Chelsea in the offseason. The Germany international’s only other goal came from the penalty spot against Bournemouth in September. His strike at Gtech Community Stadium was crucial as Arsenal moved a point ahead of defending champion City. Meeting Bukayo Saka’s cross at the far post, Havertz headed between the legs of Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken. Arsenal’s players were celebrating earlier when Leandro Trossard thought he had opened the scoring, but the goal was ruled offside after a VAR review. ___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerSource
