Arsenal have taken a first-half lead against Brighton and Hove Albion during Saturday afternoon’s early Premier League kick-off at the Emirates Stadium.
After beating Wolves and Aston Villa, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners are looking to make it three wins from their first three league games.
And taking a giant step toward continuing their unbeaten run, Arsenal have opened today’s scoring after just 39 minutes.
Winger Bukayo Saka, who has been causing Jack Hinshelwood problems all first half, played a beautiful through ball right into Kai Havertz’s path, leaving the German with a perfect one-on-one goalscoring opportunity.
And the former Chelsea man didn’t disappoint. Chipping the en-rushing Bart Verbruggen, Havertz’s effort sailed over the Dutch keeper and right into the back of the away team’s net.
Kai Havertz, that is a beautiful finish ???
