Arteta Praises Havertz’s Big-Game Mentality After Arsenal’s Late Win

Kai Havertz came off the bench to score a decisive stoppage-time goal, securing a 1-0 victory for Arsenal over Sporting CP in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Mikel Arteta was full of praise for the German striker, highlighting his ability to deliver in crucial moments.

Arteta noted that Havertz's history of scoring in major finals, including at Chelsea, provides a valuable 'identity' for the squad. The victory was particularly sweet for Arsenal following recent defeats, as they proved their resilience on a difficult night in Portugal.
