Kai Havertz silenced the Anfield crowd and etched his name into Premier League history with a decisive strike for Arsenal. The German international opened the scoring at the back post after Alisson Becker fumbled a clearance, allowing Declan Rice to retrieve the ball on the right wing. Rice delivered a fizzing cross into the box, where Havertz waltzed in to calmly poke the ball home, ending a frustrating goal drought for the Gunners.
Arsenal star breaks Gündoğan’s record to claim top spot in English football history
This goal marks a significant milestone, coming just weeks after his last Premier League tally against Chelsea on September 6, 2026. By scoring against another big-six opponent, Havertz has now reached 46 career Premier League goals. This feat officially surpasses Ilkay Gündoğan, who previously held the record for the most goals scored by a German player in England’s top flight.
Havertz’s performance underscores his growing importance in Mikel Arteta’s system, proving he can deliver in high-pressure environments. Breaking the all-time record for a German in the Premier League solidifies his status as a key figure in the league’s current era. As Arsenal look to maintain their title challenge, Havertz’s newfound confidence could be the catalyst needed to push them further up the table.
