In his first EPL game this season, Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale experienced a rollercoaster of emotions as Arsenal clinched a dramatic 2-1 victory over Brentford, catapulting them to the top of the Premier League. Declan Rice opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a header from a Ben White cross. Brentford equalized following a mistake by Ramsdale, but Kai Havertz, continuing his scoring streak, headed in the late winner in the 86th minute from another cross by White, marking his fourth goal in as many games. The win was Arsenal's eighth consecutive league victory in 2024, placing them one point clear at the top of the table. Mikel Arteta praised Ramsdale's character and response to his mistake, emphasizing the team's desire to win for him.

Just look what it means to Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale! #BBCFootball #ARSBRE https://t.co/BpQb1dWVpd
It's Declan Rice! 🎯 Arsenal take the lead at the Emirates 🔴 https://t.co/xL0yRpujgm
The goal comes from a Ben White cross in the inside channel. He’s been taking up those positions whenever Saka is double up on. The winger draws them wide and it leaves space for the full back to play. Great headed from Rice.
Advantage @Arsenal 🎯 The hosts capitalise on their strong start, with Ben White sending an inviting cross into the box for Declan Rice to nod in! #ARSBRE https://t.co/pKHSW7BuGQ
“Their eyes are full of skies” Declan Rice finishes off Ben White’s cross. Great timing. #COYG
THE BREAKTHROUGH! 🔓 Rice rises highest to connect with White's cross and give us a deserved lead! 🔴 1-0 🔵 (19) https://t.co/pxI9CEQ67I
Arsenal lead 1-0. White crosses and Rice plants an excellent header past Flekken.
1-0 Arsenal! Declan Rice with the header to break the dead lock. Ben White with the cross from the inside channel.
Such an exciting title race in the premier league… top 3 squads (Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal) are separated by 2 points. #EPL
