From his vantage point on our touchline surrounded by noise raining down from the Emirates stnds, Mikel Arteta felt that were were destined to score a winner and beat Brentford.

Once again, the boss thanked our supporters for their positivity and passion to help drive our players on after they saw Declan Rice’s opener cancelled out by Yoane Wissa and our seven-match winning run potentially coming to an end.

But Kai Havertz’s 85th-minute header extended that run to eight successes and sent us to the top of the Premier League, and the boss believes that the Gooners inside the stadium made all the difference to clinch those vital two extra points.
