The £65million summer signing from Chelsea had not registered a goal or assist in his first nine games for the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta hailed the “empathy” of his Arsenal players after what he hopes was a game-changing goal from Kai Havertz in their win at Bournemouth.
He tucked away his chance to break his duck, as his team-mates and the away end greeted the goal with jubilant celebrations. “I’m delighted they made that decision. And so thankful as well to our supporters for the way they sung his name and made him feel today. If there’s a player who deserves that it’s Kai Havertz, so happy for him.
“In that moment you see it. I think after everything he’s been through in the last few weeks that moment is worth all of it, so really happy for him.”
