LONDON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Arsenal moved top of the Premier League when a late goal by Kai Havertz earned them a 1-0 victory at Brentford on Saturday.

Manchester City's earlier draw with Liverpool meant Mikel Arteta's side would leapfrog both clubs with a win but that did not look likely for most of the game.

Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale, recalled to the side, got away with a huge mistake in the first half, while the visitors had a goal by Leandro Trossard ruled out for offside.

The game appeared to be drifting towards a draw but Havertz, who came on as a substitute, eventually broke the deadlock with a close-range header in the 89th minute.

Saka nets brace as Arsenal hammer Burnley to close gap again

Saka nets brace as Arsenal hammer Burnley to close gap again Bukayo Saka scored twice for the rampant Gunners REUTERS Liverpool’s win over Brentford earlier in the day had moved them five points clear at the top, but the Gunners responded in fine fashion to reduce the deficit back to two and keep themselves firmly in the Premier League title race. Saka took his Premier League tally for the season to 12 goals, with Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz also on target for the rampant Gunners. Picking up from where they left off in the big win over West Ham, Arsenal did not even need five minutes to take the lead, as Gabriel Martinelli picked out Odegaard and the captain fired into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Burnley never looked like causing the Gunners any real problems and the lead was doubled before the break. Leandro Trossard was brought down in the box and Bukayo Saka made no mistake from the spot, despite James Trafford going the right way. Saka needed ...

  Jurrien Timber closes in on Arsenal comeback after Champions League hint   Crocked on the opening day of the season, Jurrien Timber looked a perfect fit for the Gunners - and Mikel Arteta has raised hopes he will be back before Easter Jurrien Timber receives treatment after his knee injury on opening day Mikel Arteta has handed Jurrien Timber a massive boost by including the crocked defender in the Gunners’ Champions League squad for the knockout phase. Timber has been out of action since he suffered a cruciate ligament knee injury against Nottingham Forest on the opening day of the season. The £38 million signing from Ajax had looked a perfect fit for Arsenal on the pre-season tour of the United States and in the Community Shield triumph against Manchester City. But now Gunners messiah Arteta has sent the clearest indication yet that Timber, 22, will be back well before the end of the campaign by naming him in a 25-man squad for the Champions League, where Arsenal face Port...

  EXCL: Trossard frustrated with super-sub role, Nketiah to Palace latest, plus will we see any late transfer surprises from Arsenal? Hint of frustration from Leandro Trossard? Saturday’s win at Aston Villa was huge for Arsenal, especially given the context of what happened against Unai Emery’s side last season. This was the first away game of the season and with trips to Manchester City and Spurs on the horizon, a win was crucial to give the team an early shot in the arm in terms of belief and confidence. If Arsenal had lost, everyone would have been talking about Villa getting the better of them again, so there was plenty of pressure on them going into the game. So the way they came through it was very impressive. Yes, they had to ride their luck at times and had Ollie Watkins had his shooting boots on they may well have ended up losing. But you have to make the most of what luck you get and Arsenal did that with those two goals from Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey. David Raya...

Arsenal beats Porto on penalties to reach Champions League quarterfinals

  Arsenal beats Porto on penalties to reach Champions League quarterfinals LONDON (AP) — Arsenal reached the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time since 2010 after beating Porto 4-2 in a penalty shootout on Tuesday, ending a streak of seven eliminations in the round of 16. David Raya saved Galeno’s spot kick to seal the win for Arsenal, which had won the game 1-0 to level the aggregate score at 1-1. Wendell also missed his penalty for Porto, hitting the post with his team’s second attempt at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal trailed 1-0 from the first leg in Portugal — when Galeno scored the winner deep into stoppage time — but went level through Leandro Trossard’s 41st-minute goal. Neither side could find another goal despite extra time as Porto’s disciplined defensive tactics largely held Arsenal at bay. Arsenal had been eliminated at this stage seven years in a row under Arsene Wenger between 2011-17, the last time the London club played in the competition. ___
