What Mikel Arteta did after major Aaron Ramsdale error saved by Kai Havertz bullet header

Kai Havertz was the hero of the day with his late header sending Arsenal to the top of the table. But it was a match filled with drama, angst and jubilation as well as some tasty narrative too.

Declan Rice opened the scoring after a brilliant Ben White cross found the midfielder for a glancing header before an Aaron Ramsdale mistake gifted the visitors an equaliser.

The game was shown on Sky Sports, however football.london were in attendance to provide some glimpses of what the cameras missed. From Ben White’s antics with Ivan Toney to Mikel Arteta’s reactions to Aaron Ramsdale throughout the game, we have it all.

It was certainly not by accident that Benjamin White struck that left-footed shot against Sheffield United in the previous game. The England international was given the ball by Kai Havertz inside the box before lashing his strike with his left boot into the side netting.

Before the game with Brentford kicked off, the Arsenal players were running through a number of their drills. One of which is an exercise with the attacking players playing passes between one another before taking an effort on goal unchallenged, a familiarisation strategy it seems.

It seemed however that White’s strike against the Blades had earned him the chance of a shot in the drill and just like away from home, the full-back opted for a left-footed strike which, as if by magic, found the exact same spot once again – what a finish!
