In the Premier League on Sunday, Arsenal defeated Manchester City 5-1 with decisiveness.

One of the Gunners’ most notable players, Kai Havertz, was one of five goal-scorers.

Havertz made atonement by scoring the Gunners’ fourth goal on the counterattack in the 76th minute after he had missed a clear-cut scoring opportunity halfway through the first half.

Following the match, captain Martin Odegaard lavished the 25-year-old with accolades. “Havertz had a massive impact again,” he remarked, adding that he is a great player whether or not he has possession.

He said, “Massive impact again today,” to Sky Sports (via BBC Sport). Everything he does is visible to you. He is a quality player who is constantly there, both with and without the ball. He has scored and assisted.

Having him on the team is beneficial. We communicate well and have a mutual understanding. He is a clever player, and playing with him is enjoyable.

“We know each other so well and we have a great connection with everyone.”

Havertz made headlines at halftime after wasting another excellent chance to score, although he had the finest start to the game with a wonderful assist for Odegaard.

But in the second half, he maintained his intensity and scored a goal of his own. With two goals that day, the German skillfully responded to his detractors.

This season, Havertz has made 33 appearances in all competitions, tallying 15 goals and five assists. Since coming to England, this has been his finest scoring season.

Arsenal will now focus on Wednesday’s second leg of their semi-final Carabao Cup matchup with Newcastle United. To advance to the final, they need to overcome a 2-0 deficit.

In the home leg, the Gunners wasted a lot of scoring chances. In order to play at Wembley next month, the team must put on a magnificent show at St James’ Park.
