In the final moments away at Brentford on the weekend, Arsenal went top of the Premier League.

Good ball by second. There's the chance and there's the goal. It's Kai Haberts for Arsenal.

Kai Havert hasn't exactly hit the ground running, but could this be lift-off for his Arsenal career?

I know it's always hard when the new signing come and they pay a lot of money for you, so they think it goes quite easy and quite fast, but yeah, I'm just thankful for all of them to keep supporting me.

And with the best defence in the division, are Arsenal a better team?

If not quite as fun to watch.

Welcome to the Athletic Football Podcast.

All right, let's get into this Arsenal winning 1-0 away at Brentford.

I'm joined by the Athletics, David Ornstein, also Arsenal writer Amy Lawrence and also German football writer Rafael Honingstein.

Look, Amy, Kai Havert, arriving backpost to rescue the day for Arsenal.

That clearly was a great moment for the club,

but still speculation as to how Kai Haverts works in this team, no?

I was thinking about it before,

and so many people have spent quite a lot of time,

and it's nearly December, remember.

So everybody's entitled to adaptation time, assimilation time.

That's fine. It's not been the quickest, I guess, for an established player.

And I think quite a lot of the first few months of the season,

people have just been scratching their heads going like, where does he fit in?

Where does he fit into the team?
