X reacts as comedy of errors decide Arsenal's victory over Liverpool

Earlier this season, Mauricio Pochettino quite rightly said: "Football is a game of mistakes." The Argentine's calamitous Chelsea side have done their best to prove him right but Arsenal and Liverpool delivered plenty of supporting evidence themselves on Sunday afternoon, with both teams benefitting from bone-headed blunders. Arsenal managed to come out on top in a truly chaotic contest, winning 3-1 to reignite their tilt for the Premier League title. Bukayo Saka's opener ensured that the Gunners have scored the first goal in each of their last four league matches against Liverpool - the first time Arsenal have achieved such a feat in this fixture since 1970. Played to a deafening soundtrack inside the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal were well worth their early lead, suffocating the visitors with a coordinated press. The Gunners had been just as sharp against Liverpool in the FA Cup last month but were painfully profligate in front of goal. Kai Havertz hadn't discovere...

Kai Havertz says he's had to put his ego to one side after scoring Arsenal's dramatic late winner against Brentford. The German midfielder, who has adapted to play a different role to the one asked of him at Chelsea last season, climbed off to the bench to score a hugely important 89th minute winner at the GTech Community Stadium - a goal that sends Arsenal top of the Premier League table ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool. The goal was just Havertz's second in Arsenal colours following his £65m summer switch and his first from open play - his previous strike came from the penalty spot in the convincing away win at Bournemouth. Havertz has faced criticism for his performances, with many questioning Arsenal's decision to spend so much money on the 24-year-old, and he told TNT Sports that he's happy to repay the faith shown in him by his teammates and by the club's supporters.
