89. Welcome to Arsenal, Kai Havertz!

With one minute remaining at the Gtech, the £65 million man pops up with the goal that could invigorate his Gunners career.

For the first time in the second half, Bukayo Saka made half a yard for himself on the right, and the curled over a beautiful cross towards the far post.

It still needed anticipation, bravery and precision to convert, and Havertz produced all of the above and more to nod low through Mark Flekken and into the net from a tight angle.

Arsenal are heading to the top of the Premier League and it’s all thanks to Kai Havertz!

The ball ricochets kindly for Arsenal, and leaves them with a three-on-two break.

Nketiah takes charge as he approaches the penalty area, but then opts against passing right to the unmarked Saka and instead places a low weak effort at Flekken.
