Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>London’s Arsenal topped the English Premier League in a hard-fought 2-1 win over visitors Brentford on Saturday.<\/p>\n

After Arsenal’s Ben White whipped a cross, Declan Rice gave a 1-0 lead to the Gunners in front of their crowd at the Emirates Stadium through a header in the 19th minute.<\/p>\n

Brentford were on level in the first half’s injury time.<\/p>\n

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale failed to send a long ball as Brentford’s Yoane Wissa blocked it with a sliding tackle and sent the ball into Arsenal\u2019s net.<\/p>\n

Following Ramsdale\u2019s blunder, the first half in London ended 1-1.<\/p>\n

In the second half, Arsenal piled the pressure on Brentford. Gunners’ Rice fired outside the box but hit the woodwork.<\/p>\n

Arsenal’s German star Kai Havertz came to the rescue in the 86th minute. Havertz powered a late header to score the winning goal for the home team, with White also making his second assist in the match.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal moved to the top of the Premier League with 64 points in 28 matches. They are the leaders for least a day.<\/p>\n

Liverpool and defending champions Manchester City are the other title contenders.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Liverpool will host Man City in a critical match at Anfield Stadium.<\/p>\n

Second-place Liverpool have 63 points while Man City have racked up 62 points to be third in standings.<\/p>\n

In their next fixture, Arsenal will visit Man City at Etihad Stadium on March 31, one of the key games of the league.<\/p>\n
