Arsenal strolled to another comfortable away victory in the Premier League on Saturday, securing a 5-0 victory against Burnley at Turf Moor to keep the pressure on Liverpool at the top of the table.
The Gunners had demolished West Ham United 6-0 last Sunday at London Stadium, and they continued from where they stopped against the Clarets.
A brace from Bukayo Saka and goals from Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz saw Arsenal stroll to another morale-boosting win, and the skipper and Declan Rice were impressed with the performance of the German midfielder, taking to Instagram to shower praise on him
Havertz has been largely criticised since moving to Arsenal from Chelsea in the summer, but his recent performances have been solid. impressive game from the German.
His direct running through the heart of the Burnley defence caused problems for the hosts with the scores at 1-0, and he capped his top display with a well-taken goal.
Burnley really struggled to pick up his runs from deep, and his sixth goal of the campaign saw him dribble through their defence with ease, breaking free on the left before cutting inside and slotting home with a classy finish.
Havertz is slowly becoming the player Gunners manager Mikel Arteta always knew he was capable of becoming, and he needs to keep performing like that every game and getting better.
Although his touch did let him down at times when he got into some good positions in the opening 45 minutes, he made up for it with his hard work, and he can establish himself as one of the most reliable players at the North London club going forward.
Arsenal return to action on Wednesday against FC Porto in the first-leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, and Havertz will be desperate to prove his quality once again
