Whatever happens to Arsenal this season, Mikel Arteta will know this victory courtesy of substitute Kai Havertz’s late header could be priceless.
A lacklustre display against a committed Brentford in which Aaron Ramsdale endured a shaky return between the posts looked like ending in disappointment as the game ticked towards the final whistle. But after a testing start to his career in north London since joining from Chelsea in the summer, Havertz ghosted in at the far post to steer home Bukayo Saka’s cross in the 89th minute.
