  • Chelsea fans have aimed a dig at red-hot Kai Havertz
  • Havertz swapped Chelsea for Arsenal last summer
  • He has since rediscovered his form with the Gunners

Chelsea supporters have taken a swipe at in-form Arsenal forward Kai Havertz, who secured a dramatic late victory for the Gunners in their 2-1 triumph against Brentford on Saturday.

The German international once again emerged as the hero for Arsenal, with his late goal propelling the Gunners to the top of the Premier League table, albeit temporarily.

According to talkSPORT, his goal against the Bees marked the first time in his career that Havertz has scored in four consecutive English top-flight matches.

In spite of his impressive performances lately, there remains speculation among fans and pundits regarding his best position on the field.

Gunners manager Mikel Arteta has utilised him both as a midfielder and a centre-forward this season, leading to ongoing debate about his role within the team.

While Havertz has won the admiration of Arsenal supporters, Chelsea fans have expressed scepticism about his recent success, casting a shadow over his achievements.

Chelsea fans insist they don't miss Havertz

@MrBrianAluda boldly claimed:

"Never, Not in this life or the next."

@Gam_Edie added:

"At all! We know what we suffered."

@draxler_jnr even labelled Havertz's goals as 'lucky':

"Scoring lucky, crucial goals like this is his thing... Man scored the only goal for us to win the UCL but he still killed us the most."

@Jojo_Thormsyn suggested that even if Havertz scoops a Ballon d'Or prize, Chelsea fans won't miss him:

"If he dey like make he win balon dor add, we never go miss am."

@stephen_twist added:

"Not at all."

Despite not always receiving the credit he merits, the former Bayer Leverkusen forward's solitary goal for Chelsea in the Champions League final against Manchester City will forever stand out as his most significant contribution during his tenure with the club.

His highest goal count was eight, achieved in his second season with the Stamford Bridge side. Over his time with Chelsea, he managed a modest 32 goals in 139 appearances despite often playing as the primary forward, as noted by Transfermarkt.

However, at Arsenal, the German has reignited his spark, with the majority of his eight goals coming from his role as an attacking midfielder.

With 10 games left in the season, Havertz has the opportunity to increase his current goal tally even further.

Brentford boss fumes at Havertz

Sports Brief also reported that Brentford manager Thomas Frank expressed his frustration after Kai Havertz scored an 86th-minute winner for Arsenal against his side on Saturday, March 9.

After the match, Frank strongly believed that Arsenal's matchwinner should have been sent off earlier in the game.

Frank referred to an incident that occurred 20 minutes before the 24-year-old's goal, where Havertz seemed to dive following a challenge from Nathan Collins.
