ARSENAL fans have hailed the “emotional” moment that saw Kai Havertz record his first goal for the club.

Havertz finally broke his duck in his seventh Premier League appearance for the club when he converted from the penalty spot in the 53rd minute.

Captain Martin Odegaard appeared to discuss letting Havertz take the penalty with Gabriel Jesus

And his team-mates were clearly buzzing with the midfielder for opening his account

The goal came with Arsenal 2-0 up in the game.

Vice-captain Martin Odegaard had already converted from the spot in the first-half and it looked as though it would be him or Gabriel Jesus to take the second penalty.

Odegaard and Jesus were speaking as cameras were rolling, and it appeared like the Gunners captain was suggesting that Havertz take the pen.

Then, Havertz deservedly scored, sending Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto the wrong way.

When Havertz scored his first goal while wearing a Gunners jersey, practically the entire squad raced up to join in on the celebrations, making it obvious how much it meant to him and his teammates.

Arsenal fans sing for Kai Havertz

Arsenal fans on Twitter loved the moment, with one tweeting: “If this doesn’t make you proud to be a gooner…. I think Jesus was meant to take it. Ø convincing him to give it to Kai. Jesus approves with a nod to Kai. Helping a friend out. Look how happy they are and how relieved he is.”

In the replies to the video one fan said: “Tears in my eyes.”

Another wrote: “I’m just so glad, for him, the team and especially the captain, that he scored. Imagine the meltdown if he hadn’t.”

While a fourth wrote: “I love this club . What a captain!!!!!”

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta spoke of his delight at his team allowing Havertz to take the penalty and said after the game: “I love to be part of a team that shows the human qualities that they have show, that empathy towards a player that has some question marks to resolve externally… they won me even more.

“I’m thankful to our supporters as they sang his name. Kai deserves that”.

Saka, Odegaard, Havertz, and White all scored for Arsenal as they easily defeated the opposition 4-0.

With 17 points, the Gunners have moved up to third place in the Premier League standings, only one point behind Manchester City.
