JAKARTA - The forward Kai Havertz is Arsenal's key in the Premier League title race. Havertz was the inspirator of Arsenal's 3-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion who took the team to the top of the standings.

Havertz is no longer a burden for the team. The German national team player was criticized for being expensive, 65 million. However, Havertz is considered to have contributed minimally to Arsenal.

When he was 'teleted' with the team, Havertz was not replaced. Now, he makes a small contribution to Arsenal.

His appearance on the field always gives the Gunners hope. How not, he didn't stop moving after the ball to score goals or open space for his colleagues.

Havertz has indeed transformed into a motor game to attack the Gunners.

In the match against Brighton, this 24-year-old player not only scored a goal that increased Arsenal's advantage but also made an assist that Leandro Trossaard completed. Havertz also silenced the critics. The club also spent a lot of money when they brought him from Chelsea at the beginning of this season.

With a score of 10 goals in various competitions, manager Mikel Arteta said that Havertz was Arsenal's mainstay pillar.

"He has had a huge impact on the team. His performance was very good and his goal contribution was very high. He just needs to maintain his current performance," said Arteta.

"I think his ability to understand other forwards is really impressive. They can build mutual understanding and seem to know each other when attacking. This allows us to create many opportunities," he said again.

Meanwhile, Havertz said he was satisfied to silence the critics with an impressive performance that brought Arsenal to 10 wins from the last 11 matches.

"That's part of a game. There are some people who don't like you or always say bad things about you. I have to be able to accept it because you can't please everyone," said Havertz.

Victory over Brighton made Arsenal pocket 71 points. They took the top spot after winning one point with Liverpool and Manchester City.

But Liverpool still have one game against Manchester United. If you win in a duel at Old Trafford, Liverpool will return to the top.
