However, a sudden turn of events in the first half saw Ramsdale commit an error, allowing Yoane Wissa to score after a delayed clearance. Arsenal, determined for a second-half breakthrough, saw their efforts materialize when Havertz found space to head in Ben White’s cross.

Havertz’s goal, marking his fourth consecutive Premier League game with a goal, propelled Arsenal one point ahead of Liverpool and two points ahead of Manchester City.

The Emirates Stadium witnessed jubilant celebrations, although Arsenal is aware that their title rivals have the chance to reclaim the top spot when they face off at Anfield on Sunday.
