Havertz wins August's Emirates Goal of the Month

-

 

Kai Havertz's neat lob against Brighton & Hove Albion has won the Emirates Goal of the Month award for August.

The German striker received 28% of the votes cast, beating Bukayo Saka by just one percent to finish on top of the pile in the search for the best strike of the month.

It was Bukayo who set up the goal, beating Lewis Dunk to a long ball and flicking the ball into space for Kai to burst into. His speed won the race to it, and as Bart Verbruggen raced off his line to narrow the angle, Kai just neatly lobbed the ball over the shot-stopper and watched his land into the net.


It was his first-ever goal from outside the area in the Premier League, and more importantly his 18th goal involvement in his last 21 Premier League games, and his fifth in his last five appearances at Emirates Stadium.

Arteta on increased competition after Raya arrival

  Aaron Ramsdale played every minute of our league campaign last season, twice winning the Premier League Save of the Month award, and keeping 14 clean sheets in all. But that hasn’t stopped Mikel Arteta from strengthening his goalkeeping position yet further, by recruiting Spain international stopper David Raya from Brentford. The boss believes that increasing the level of competition within the squad will improve the environment across the board, and that it’s healthy for every position – whether in goal or outfield. “When we had different goalkeepers there were questions as well,” Arteta said in his pre-match press conference. “To have two excellent goalkeepers is great - there's nothing wrong with it. We have two great left-wingers and two great strikers and two great holding midfielders. We have Jorginho, Thomas and Declan and that is not a problem, and it should not be a problem. “We want to be better every single day and to be better the environment has to change and be bett...
