With 10 games to go in the Premier League season, things really could not be much tighter at the top.
Arsenal beat Brentford 2-1 courtesy of a late winner from Kai Havertz to go top of the table, with fellow contenders Liverpool and Manchester City playing out a 1-1 draw at Anfield.
That left the Gunners on pole by virtue of their superior goal difference, while Aston Villa and Tottenham battled it out for fourth place, Spurs inflicting a 4-0 win to narrow the gap to Unai Emery's side to just two points.
