Arsenal match-winner Kai Havertz has reacted to their win against Brighton this evening, emphasising that they were aware of their potential to perform well at home. The victory marked a return to winning ways for Mikel Arteta’s side after their loss to Aston Villa in their previous league fixture.
The match against Brighton was anticipated to be as challenging as the Villa game, if not more, given Brighton’s penchant for causing upsets against big teams. However, Arsenal has established a strong reputation when playing at the Emirates.
Havertz noted that Arsenal started the game well and dominated until the end, earning their fully deserved 2-0 win. The convincing performance underlines their resilience and determination to bounce back from setbacks and remain competitive in the Premier League.
After the game, Havertz said, as quoted by the BBC:
“Very important. It’s a great team. They play very nice football. It’s tough to play against them. We knew we’re strong at our house here. Today it went quite well.
“I’m happy as an offensive player, it’s always nice to score or assist. The first one or two months were difficult but I tried to get the best out of myself every day.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
The Emirates is our home for a reason and it is great to see our players turn it into a fortress. If we can win all our home matches, we will have a good chance of winning the title.

Great to see Havertz step up, I hope he lights up the EPL.
It was solid team performance from start to end, however on another day, we could easily have drawn or perhaps even lost a game in which we’ve totally dominated (just like vs Villa and Newcastle) – and a killer striker is what we’re missing most.
Toney would be ideal as he’d feed off the crosses from Saka and Martinelli – and would strike fear into other teams defences. If we dont win the title, it could well be cos we don’t have that fearsome striker and nothing else.
When uttered for the first time the big German scores again, a fan ranted so hard admin had to intervene and scold said fan.
But things have cool some what on that front now as the big German quietly as become our unsung hero.
” Our unsung hero” is simply your opinion and it MAYalso be that of a few others.
Butthe mainstream Gooner fanbase will be far harder to convince of your opinion being accurate vased on a very few slightly better perfs than his first two months showed.
I will hold fire for some time yet before according him the level of “love” and obvious adoration , as a player, that YOU clearly show us in almost every single post you make.
I AM NOT SO EASILY SEDUCED BY ANY “BIG GERMAN”.
So Jon, what must Kia Havertz do for you to accept him as an important member of the team, would you accept him if he gets a brace at Anfield weekend?
Last season while we were getting more points on the table we were still outclassed in midfield by high pressing team like mancity, Liverpool and brighton. So, there was clear need for improvement and we have to appreciate Arteta by trying his best to get that done, as this season no team has been able to outclass us in the midfield. The defeat against Newcastle and aston villa were pure bad luck, so was draw against spurs and fulham. Only against Chelsea we got lucky with the draw. Havertz has been integral part of this midfield and now he is delivering results also. So, there seems to be no reason to convince anyone of our better midfield pack including Havertz. Actually we might have robbed Chelsea with 64 mil in Havertz as his height and physicality has given us another dimension in our team which has been evident in recent matches. Arteta is the boss and and he has done it multiple times, but I just hope that Raya saga won’t cost us any further, which I am still not convinced.
The “mainstream Gooner fanbase” Jon?
I witnessed nigh on 57,000 of them clapping and cheering him off the pitch today and watched his fellow players congratulate him when he scored the, so important, second goal.
I’m convinced he’s not to bothered about fans holding back, as MA and the players have realized what an integral part of the team he is.
After DR and MO, he was our best player… in my opinion.
COME THE NEW B.F,G,
.
I don’t worry myself wit who to like or love or want out of the team, if Cedric comes in today and play his part in us winning a match a cheer him on. What is most important to me is the team and everyone representing the badge as at now cause once you leave, I transfer my love to the new member of the team.
But truth be told Kia height have been helping us out and he seems to be getting better with his new role in the team, long may that continue.
Unto the Anfield next really want us to beat them and break that stadia curse
He could’ve scored twice if the ball had fell nicely on his head earlier on but glad he got the goal eventually, more to come from him not some sort of purple patch as some like Jon fox and some others might think. just a reminder………..You’ve seen nothing yet!!!
I used purple patch Vamos as i couldn’t think of a better way of describing a blossoming. Not every player can do a Declan Rice and become a smash hit.
