Arsenal's Kai Havertz headed an 86th minute winner to take his side top of the Premier League with a 2-1 home victory over Brentford on Saturday , while Manchester United fanned the embers of their top four hopes with a 2-0 win against visiting Everton.
Arsenal recorded an eighth league victory in a row and Havertz scored for the fourth consecutive game to make up for a calamitous error by stand-in goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. Erik ten Hag's team remain sixth but with 47 points they crept closer to fourth-placed Aston Villa, who are on 55 with a game in hand at home to Tottenham Hotspur in fifth on Sunday.Soccer Football - Premier League - Arsenal v Brentford - Emirates Stadium, London, Britain - March 9, 2024 Arsenal's Declan Rice celebrates after the match REUTERS/David KleinEverton's Jordan Pickford and Jarrad Branthwaite in action with Manchester United's Marcus Rashford.
The result moved Wolves up to eighth in the league on 41 points and kept intact their more than four-decade unbeaten streak at home to the Londoners. Fulham are 12th on 35. But with Selhurst Park celebrating, Luton launched a late attack and Cauley Woodrow's goal in the 96th minute, after late substitute Andros Townsend floated the ball into the area, stunned the home fans and gave the visitors an unlikely draw.
Sheffield United looked set to earn three points when the clock struck 90 minutes at the Vitality Stadium but Bournemouth's Enes Unal equalised to pile even more pressure on the visitors' faint survival hopes.
