2. The Kai Havertz moment

Havertz has, quite frankly, been a disappointment so far this season. However, he may have had his best match as a Gunner on Saturday.

He looked forceful in the press and was decisive in the midfield for the most part. He did have a moment where he gave up the ball and allowed the Cherries to counter, but it did not lead to much. He got his first Arsenal moment when Odegaard won Arsenal’s second penalty of the day. He converted the penalty and you could see the jubilation from him and his teammates. Sometimes, all it takes is seeing the ball go into the net. For Gunner fans, one can only hope that is the spark that Havertz needs.
