Arsenal went top of the Premier League after Kai Havertz scored a late goal to beat Brentford.
The Gunners started the day in third, but leapfrogged Liverpool and Manchester City after they drew in the lunchtime kick-off.
Arsenal looked like they would have to settle for a point against a stubborn and resolute Brentford side, which did threaten as Declan Rice and Oleksandr Zinchenko make vital clearances.
Havertz, however, came to the rescue by heading home with a minute of normal time to go to send Arsenal top of the table.

Aaron Ramsdale 5
Made his first Premier League appearance since September 3. Looked, understandably, short on confidence and game time. Almost caught out twice playing out from the back in the first-half, but was much better after the break.
Takehiro Tomiyasu 7
Given the nod ahead of Ben White and continued his good form with another fine performance. Solid in and out of possession.
William Saliba 6
Not at the level he usually is, but was still fine. Caught out once or twice - which is uncharacteristic for him.
Gabriel 7
The better of Arsenal's two centre-backs. Bailed Saliba out on a couple of occasions. Dominant in the air.
Oleksandr Zinchenko 7
Shone for his defensive work, which you don't always say about the Ukrainian. Made a stunning block to keep out Neal Maupay's header.
Martin Odegaard 5
Back in the side after missing the last three games. Looked a tad rusty and struggled to break down Brentford's stubborn defence.
Declan Rice 8 | Star player
Restored to the base of midfield after a run of starts as a No8. Made a stunning clearance off the line in the first-half. A colossus in midfield.
Leandro Trossard 6
A surprise starter in midfield after excelling upfront recently. Thought he had opened the scoring in the first-half, but VAR ruled his header out for offside.
Bukayo Saka 7
Difficult for him to make an impact against a deep Brentford defence. Was being kept quiet all game - and then setup the winner with a stunning cross.
Gabriel Jesus 5
Made his first appearance for Arsenal in a month. Was tough against three centre-backs, but went close to scoring in the first-half with a good turn and shot.
Gabriel Martinelli 5
Brentford did an excellent job of doubling up on the Brazilian. Almost setup Nketiah with a great cross when he finally got some space in the second-half.
Substitutions
Eddie Nketiah (Jesus 66') 5
Almost nicked one off Mark Flekken's foot when the keeper tried to be cute playing out.
Kai Havertz (Martinelli 79') 7
Off the bench to score the winner. A turning point for his Arsenal career?
Jorginho (Odegaard 90') N/A
White (Saka 90') N/A
