Arsenal showed their title credentials again on Sunday, defeating Tottenham 3-2. A Pierre-Emile Hojberg own goal and strikes from Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz secured victory for the visitors.
However, before the game, Emmanuel Adebayor admitted to not being Kai Havertz's fan. "I am not a big fan of the player" he told Premier League Productions while discussing the German being a number nine for Arsenal.
“He has adapted well,” said Adebayor about Havertz before Arsenal’s win over Tottenham. “I am not a big fan of the player, to be honest.
“He isn’t that strong and when you are playing up front for a team like Arsenal. First and foremost, you have to be strong and you have to be clever. He’s a very good player with the feet.
“Football is a game, whenever you score, you are the hero and when you don’t score, then you are the villain. If he doesn’t score and Arsenal ends up losing, then the fans won’t be happy about it.
"But if he manages to score a goal and get a win for his team, as he is doing at the end of the season for his team, then he will be the hero.”
Well, Havertz turned out to be a hero and now Arsenal fans will love him forever because he has scored a goal in a north London derby win, and that away from home!
What you also shouldn’t forget is his assist for Saka’s goal. That was a quick break from Arsenal and they proved to be ruthless in transition.
