Kai Havertz Scores First Premier League Goal for Arsenal, Sets New Record for German Players
Kai Havertz entered Anfield eager to find the net, and he achieved that goal by making a bit of history. The German striker opened the scoring after Alisson made an error, allowing Arsenal to capitalize on the opportunity.
Declan Rice retrieved the ball on the right wing and delivered a sharp cross into the box, enabling Havertz to skillfully waltz in and convert with ease.
This goal marks Havertz’s first Premier League score for Arsenal since September 6, 2026, when he netted against Chelsea, and it comes against another club from the traditional top six.
With this goal, Havertz now boasts 46 Premier League goals, surpassing the previous record of most goals scored by a German player in England’s top division, which was held by Ilkay Gündoğan.
This achievement adds a remarkable touch to Havertz’s contributions in the league.
