German international, Kai Lukas Havertz, produced a Man of the Match performance at the Emirates Stadium for Arsenal in their 4:1 win over Bundesliga Champions, Bayer Leverkusen.

Kai Haverz provided two (2) assists in the game before scoring the fourth goal in the game for Arsenal.

Havertz, who started the game and lasted 70 minutes on the pitch, assisted the first two goals for the The Gunners within the first nine minutes of the game before providing the icing on the cake in the 66th minute.

The game started with Arsenal dominating possession and creating several chances, and they were rewarded with their first goal on the 8th minute when Oleksandr Zinchenko’s left footed shot from the outside the box found its way to the bottom right corner of Leverkusen’s net with an assist from Kai Havertz.

A minute later, Kai Havertz provided another assist this time for Leandro Trossard, who gave Arsenal a 2 goal advantage from the center of Leverkusen’s 18-yard box.

Arsenal continued with their dominant performance throughout the first half of the game as Gabriel Jesus scored their 3rd goal in the 38th minute following a fast break.

Mikel Arteta Amatriain’s side went into the break with a comfortable 3:0 lead but they were not done as Harvertz was to have the final say for the Gunners in the game.

With two assists to his name, the former Chelsea midfielder made it 4:0 for Arsenal in the 65 minute when he got his goal from a very close range.

Leverkusen fought back, pulling a goal on the 76th minute but Adam Hložek’s goal was all they could afford in the game as Arsenal triumphed with a 4:1 victory.

Al Nassr struggled in Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence on Monday, when the Saudi club kicked off the revamped Asian Champions League with a 1-1 draw against Al Shorta in Iraq.

Al Nassr captain Ronaldo did not travel with the squad for the match in Baghdad, with the club issuing a statement a day before stating that the Portuguese superstar had been diagnosed with a viral infection.

The statement read: “Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t feeling well today and was diagnosed with a viral infection.

“The team’s doctor confirmed he needs to rest and stay at his place.

“As a result, he will not be travelling with the team to Iraq today. We wish a speedy recovery to our captain.”

Al Nassr, who were knocked out of last season’s Asian Champions League in the quarter-finals by eventual champions Al Ain, were given a dream start in the Iraqi capital, when full-back Sultan Al Ghannam met Otavio’s astute, first-time pass on 14 minutes to finish low past Al Shorta goalkeeper Ahmed Basil

Ronaldo is yet to win a major trophy with Al-Nassr since joining the Saudi club.
