Kai saves himself from another barrage of criticism

One could easily say that Havertz could nearly be topping the Premier League goal-scoring charts had he tucked away most of his chances this season, and it looked like he was going to be on the end of a verbal tongue-lashing from fans once again.

How he missed his shot in the first half that would have put Arsenal 2-0 is unbelievable, but he got his goal in the second-half with a well-taken effort.

But Kai needs to have his shooting boots on because had he not found the net, it would have been another performance where fans wouldn't be too kind.
