Arsenal's super-sub Kai Havertz admits his 89th-minute goal 'feels amazing' after rescuing a 1-0 win over Brentford following a 'tough couple of months' scoring just twice since his £65m move from Chelsea

 Mikel Arteta was quick to make sure his goalscoring super-sub Havertz received the plaudits he deserved, taking him in front of the travelling fans to soak up their applause. 




The German came off the bench to head home what turned out to be the winning goal in the 89th minute of the game, having only scored once before for the Gunners since his arrival. 



Havertz joined the north London outfit for £65million over the summer from cross-town rivals Chelsea, but has this far struggled for goal contributions. 


However, he was quick to reveal his proud at his 'hard work' paid off in crucial fashion, with the Gunners taking top spot after Liverpool held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw earlier on Saturday afternoon'It feels amazing,' he revealed after the game. 'We've been working hard for these moments, and today I got it paid back. I'm just happy to help the team with that.


'It was a brilliant goal and a brilliant pass as well. We do this routine a lot in training, Bukayo and Martin love to play these balls, it was a good goa


'Football is always hard work. Nothing comes from itself, you have to work and you have to believe. I know it was tough for me the past couple of months, but I try to put my ego aside because the team is the most important thin


'I've been thankful for these guys (fans), because it's always hard when you come and they pay a lot of money for you. I'm thankful for them to keep supporting me


The versatile Germany international Havertz has been played in a number of positions since arriving at the Gunner


Not only has he featured as a deeper-lying forward, but he has also played on either side of Arsenal's midfield two, both as a more progressive No 10 and as a box-to-box left-sided No 8


He was even deployed at left back for Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann in the recent international break, and managed to get on the scoresheet


'You see that there, satisfaction, relief. This is why you're here,' said TNT Sports pundit Rio Ferdinand, discussing the midfielder after the game.
