Kai Havertz certainly delivered a much improved performance in Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening.
Predominantly Havertz’s display was better appreciated by Arsenal fans because he was able to score, putting the Gunners 2-0 ahead early in the second half.
Havertz fired a low drive at Emi Martinez, one that the Aston Villa keeper may have hoped to do better with.
But ultimately the away side were still able to cancel out that goal, earning a 2-2 draw at the Emirates.
Unai Emery praised Arsenal after full-time, but ultimately fans in N5 were still going home disappointed.
Although, when Havertz deflected Mikel Merino’s strike into the net late on the make it 3-2, there was briefly a moment of elation in north London.
