Kai Havertz sends message to Arsenal fans after shock Ollie Watkins confession

Today at 07:06 AM

Arsenal forward Kai Havertz took to social media to let the fans know they will “continue to work and fight together,” after their 2-2 Premier League draw with Aston Villa on Saturday (January 18).

A shot from Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino deflected off Havertz and past Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez late in the clash, briefly making it 3-2 to the Gunners before the goal was ruled out after a lengthy VAR check.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins surprisingly admitted he felt like the goal should have stood.

Watkins said: “Seeing it back there I am not sure, think it's gone in favour for us, if that was against me I think I would be disappointed. From that angle I'm not sure but that's what VAR is there for.

Arsenal went 2-0 up thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Havertz before Youri Tielemanns and Watkins restored parity and ensured the spoils were shared.

Havertz has been integral to Mikel Arteta’s plans so far this season, starting 26 of his 29 games across all competitions, scoring 13 goals, and providing three assists in his 2412 minutes of action.

Despite his fine form, some Arsenal fans are unhappy with Havertz, taking to social media to send threatening messages to his pregnant wife after their FA Cup defeat to Man United.

Arsenal remain in second, level on points with surprise package Nottingham Forest on 44, and six behind Liverpool who have a game in hand.

The Germany international took to Instagram after the draw with Villa to reassure the fans, saying: “As a team and club we'll continue to work and fight together.”

Arsenal will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Wednesday (January 22) as they host Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

Arteta’s attention will then return to the Premier League on Saturday (January 25) for their trip to relegation-threatened Wolves.
