Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea

The game saw former Chelsea player Havertz shine with a brace and his exuberant celebration, which stirred up some controversy.

As a recent transfer to Arsenal last summer, Havertz, who started the game tonight, displayed remarkable form against his former club!

Havertz excellent performance!

This match marked Havertz's second encounter with Chelsea since his transfer. 

Compared to his lackluster performance as a substitute in the first leg, Havertz delivered an outstanding performance this time around.

In the 57th minute of the second half, Havertz capitalized on a long-range through pass from Ødegaard to calmly slot home a one-on-one opportunity.

After scoring, Havertz didn't shy away from celebrating. Instead, he excitedly made his trademark tongue-out gesture, followed by a triumphant knee slide on the Emirates Stadium turf, demonstrating his assertiveness.

Just eight minutes later, Havertz effortlessly slotted home again with a low shot, breaching Chelsea's defense once more.

With this, Havertz became the 28th former Chelsea player to score against the Blues in the Premier League and the first to net a brace against his old club.

According to post-match statistics, Havertz had four shots on target in this game. Despite missing one clear chance, he managed to score twice and provided two key passes. 

Havertz received 8.6 rating after the match

Havertz received a high rating of 8.6 from the authoritative external media outlet Sofascore.

Following his brace tonight, Havertz has now scored 11 goals in the league this season. 

Worth signing of Arsenal?

In his last ten appearances in the Premier League, he has contributed seven goals and four assists, directly involved in a total of 11 goals.

It must be said, Arsenal's acquisition of Havertz for €75 million has indeed proven to be excellent value for money.
