Mikel Arteta saluted “adorable” Kai Havertz after the German sent Arsenal to the top of the Premier League with the last-gasp goal that clinched a 1-0 win at Brentford on Saturday.
The 24-year-old midfielder finally gave a glimpse of why Arteta splashed out £65 million ($80 million) to sign him when he headed home in the closing minutes.
Havertz was a Champions League final hero for Chelsea in 2021, but he has endured a torrid time since crossing London to join Arsenal in the close-season.
Havertz’s second goal for Arsenal was his first in his last 10 appearances, moving his team one point clear of second-placed Manchester City, who were held to a 1-1 draw by third-placed Liverpool earlier in the day.
Arteta told uncoveredug news reporters that “that is the beautiful thing about life. When you have challenges and you have to overcome them, it makes these moments much better.
“That is the reason the people reacted to him like that today. It is because he is adorable, and he is a joy to work with. He fully deserves more than anybody to get that win,” he added.
“I love winning, and we are at the top of the table. This is where we have to want to be,” Arteta said.
Arsenal’s third successive win in all competitions proved they have erased the bitter taste of their controversial VAR-aided defeat at Newcastle earlier in November.
