Kai Havertz’s 89th winner sent Arsenal to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday evening.
The 24-year-old German international headed Bukayo Saka’s pinpoint cross past Bees keeper Mark Flekken, and into the net to fire Mikel Arteta’s side into top spot.
Captain Martin Odegaard returned to the side, as did Gabriel Jesus as the north Londoners leapfrogged Manchester City and Liverpool to head the table, following the pair’s 1-1 draw in the north-west earlier in the day.
