English Premier League 2023-24: Kai Havertz' Header Moves Arsenal To Top With 1-0 Win Over Brentford - In Pics

Kai Havertz’s 89th-minute goal fired Arsenal to the top of the English Premier League 2023-24 points table on Sunday 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. Havertz’s only other goal for Arsenal came from the penalty spot against Bournemouth in September. His strike at Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday was crucial as the Gunners 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.
