Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard praised his teammate Kai Havertz for his impressive performance and first goal in the 4-0 victory against Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
In a resounding 4-0 victory over Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium on Saturday, Arsenal’s Kai Havertz found redemption and the support of his captain, Martin Odegaard. The German international, who faced scrutiny since his summer transfer from Chelsea, finally broke his goal-scoring drought and won over both fans and teammates.
Havertz, who had struggled to make an impact in his initial Arsenal appearances, showcased an impressive performance against the Cherries. His moment of glory arrived when he confidently converted a penalty kick, marking the third goal for the Gunners.
The traveling Arsenal faithful, impressed by Havertz’s display, chanted his name throughout the game. This show of support is a testament to the resilience of both player and fans alike.
What made Havertz’s goal even more special was the camaraderie within the Arsenal squad. Odegaard, who had already found the back of the net from the penalty spot, selflessly allowed Havertz to take the crucial penalty. This gesture not only boosted Havertz’s morale but also underlined the unity among the Arsenal Players, the captain also took to Instagram to praise the German as he uploaded a picture of both of them and wrote “well done brother”.
The post-match celebrations were a sight to behold, as every member of the Arsenal team joined in to revel in Havertz’s success. This display of team spirit bodes well for the Gunners as they strive for success in the Premier League.
Havertz’s journey to his first Premier League goal for Arsenal was a challenging one, taking seven games to achieve. Nevertheless, with newfound confidence and the support of his captain and teammates, he now aims to consistently find the back of the net, further solidifying his place in North London and repaying the trust placed in him by the club and its fans.
