Arsenal's Germany forward Kai Havertz scored the winning goal in Round 9 of the Premier League on November 1, breaking the record for most goals scored by a German player in the Premier League. The match was played at Liverpool's Anfield, and Arsenal took the lead in the 16th minute when Havertz converted Declan Rice's return. From then on, the hosts continued to attack, but thanks to their solid defense, the match ended 1-0, giving them their first win in 14 years.
With this goal, Havertz took his total to 46 goals in the Premier League, surpassing the previous record by a German player, according to Opta data. The previous record holder was former Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan with 45 goals. Havertz, 27, joined Chelsea from Leverkusen in the summer of 2020 and has scored 19 goals in 91 games for the Blues. He will permanently transfer to Arsenal in the summer of 2023, and this season will be his fourth season with the club. He has played in 81 games in the Premier League, scoring 27 goals.
With this victory, Arsenal achieved their first win against Liverpool and were able to improve their position in the league standings. Havertz's scoring ability is an important weapon for the team, and we expect him to play an active role in the upcoming season. The challenge for Liverpool will be to review their defense. It will be interesting to see whether Arsenal can maintain this momentum and what measures Liverpool will take in the upcoming matches.
