The German forward scored his fourth Premier League goal of the season to seal Arsenal’s victory.
Michael Owen has praised Kai Havertz for his pivotal role in Arsenals’ win over Brighton on Sunday.
The Gunners, temporarily reclaiming the top spot in the Premier League, secured a 2-0 victory, breaking their recent struggles against the Seagulls.
Despite Arsenal’s first-half missed opportunities, Gabriel Jesus‘ header finally broke the deadlock eight minutes after the break. The home crowd, anticipating a tense finish, found relief when Havertz netted his fourth goal in seven games, sealing the deal with three minutes remaining.
“It was probably a little bit late for the Arsenal fans to stop them getting a bit nervous, it was getting a bit late in the game but that was to seal the deal,” Owen said of Havertz’s performance and his late goal.
“Havertz has come into a little bit of form if he can continue this and grow into more of a permanent fixture and a confident player then that could, as the old saying go, be like a new signing. He’s been very, very poor since he’s been at the club but all of a sudden he’s showing signs of a bit of promise.”
Arsenal face Liverpool in a crucial Premier League game at Anfield next Saturday.
