Kai Havertz Hits Double Against Chelsea, ‘Mocks’ Old Club With Celebration As Arsenal Thump Blues

• Kai Havertz haunted Chelsea with a brace as Arsenal thumped the Blues at the Emirates
• A brace each from the German and Ben White, as well as a Trossard strike, sealed the win
• He became the first ex-Blues player to score twice against Mauricio Pochettino's charges

Kai Havertz broke the unwritten rule in football of not celebrating against your former club after netting twice in Arsenal's demolition exercise against Chelsea.

The Germany international, who left the Blues for the Gunners last summer, was among the goal scorers as Arsenal laid a marker with a statement win over their London rivals.

He first found the back of the net after connecting to a tantalising pass from Martin Odegaard before doubling his account and increasing his side's tally with an almost carbon-copy finish.

In the process of reaching this enviable feat, Havertz ended up throwing the 'don't celebrate' against your old club out of the window with a Neymar-like celebration.

As has become customary, the former Bayer Leverkusen prodigy stuck out his tongue while putting his hands on his head, according to the Mirror.
