Kai Havertz made history for Arsenal on Tuesday night when they played their old team, Chelsea, in the Premier League.
.
It was the 209th time that Arsenal and Chelsea played each other, and Arsenal beat Chelsea 5-0. Havertz scored both goals.
The first goal was scored by Leandro Trossard in just four minutes. Chelsea had some good moments, but Arsenal dominated the second half.
Havertz scored twice, and Ben White scored two goals in a surprise attack at the Emirates Stadium.
Havertz played for Chelsea for three years, making 139 appearances and hitting 32 goals, including the one that won Chelsea their second Champions League title in 2021.
During the summer, he went across the capital to Arsenal for £65 million. He celebrated both of his goals against his old team.
It turns out that he scored two goals, making him the first player to play for Chelsea and then score two goals against them in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old had a rough start, but now he has 12 goals in all categories in his first season with Arsenal.
Martin Odegaard made a beautiful pass in behind for Havertz to score his first goal on Tuesday night.
He was strong enough to hold Marc Cucurella and finish ahead of Djordje Petrovic. He then wheeled away in a state of pure joy.
After being picked out in the area, his second was a smart turn and finish.
The people in charge at Chelsea on X forgot to mention his name in their social media posts for both goals.
Their tweet for the first goal said “Goal for the Gunners,” and for the second, it just said “Goal to Arsenal.”
Liverpool is now three points behind Arsenal. On Wednesday, Liverpool will play Merseyside rivals Everton.
As well, they are four points ahead of Manchester City, who is currently the winner, though City has two games in hand.
Arsenal’s next game is on Sunday, when they play Spurs in a big North London derby.
