The Kai Havertz goal for Arsenal against Burnley saw the Gunners win the match 1-0 on Monday, May 18, at the Emirates Stadium. Their win took them to 82 points in 37 matches, which is five more than Manchester City’s tally, with the Cityzens, however, having a match in hand.
The Kai Havertz goal was scored in the 36th minute from a set-piece, as the German showed his ability in the air, and he underlined his importance for the team once again.
Kai Havertz Goal: Still Managing To Get Goals In An Injury-Hit Season
The Kai Havertz goal against Burnley was his sixth of the season in 22 matches. The German, who will turn 27 next month, has now scored 35 goals in 109 matches for the Gunners.
Havertz has scored a total of 67 goals in 248 combined appearances for Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League. That is not a frequency at which a top striker scores, which goes on to show that the German is not a pure number nine.
He is more of a centre-forward who can play as a false nine, as he can combine with the wingers and the midfielders of his team. His playing style is a contrast to that of Viktor Gyokeres, who can be called a pure striker.
However, Havertz’s aerial ability has often helped his team out. The goals he has scored for his team have often turned out to be match-winners, and therefore, the German has vindicated the faith shown in him by Mikel Arteta.
Havertz missed a considerable part of the season through injury, which explains why he has featured in only 22 matches this season.
The German has won the UEFA Champions League in the past with Chelsea, and should he go on to win the Premier League with Arsenal, he will join the exclusive club of players to have won both titles.

Kai Havertz Goal: Arsenal Are On The Verge Of Winning The Premier League
The Gunners are on the verge of winning the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years.
The Kai Havertz goal has taken them close to the title triumph, and they need only a goal in their last match against Crystal Palace on Sunday, May 24, to achieve that objective.
The Gunners will have to drop points in their final match for Manchester City to have any chance of winning the league title. Pep Guardiola’s men have come from behind to win the title in the past, but they should find it difficult to repeat the act this season.
Arsenal are in the Champions League final as well, which means that Havertz will get a chance to win his second Champions League title.
The German should be a key player in the final against Paris Saint-Germain as well, as Arteta will put a lot of his hopes on the striker to breach the PSG defence.
It remains to be seen whether the German can realise the dreams of millions of Arsenal supporters, but the Kai Havertz goal against Burnley has helped Arsenal take a significant step towards that goal, as they look to win their first Premier League title in over 20 years to end a long wait.
