Five straight league wins and 21 goals, things could not have gone any better in 2024 for the Gunners.
The goals have been coming thick and fast since the winter break, including five more at Burnley, and Kai Havertz believes it’s down to trust on the pitch.
“I think we trust ourselves,” the German said after the win at Turf Moor.
“We know the quality we all have and we trust each other and that’s what we did.
“But still, it’s not the end now, we need to keep being focussed. We just work hard and try to enjoy ourselves on the pitch and that’s what we did today as well.”
Havertz got himself on the scoresheet for the first time this year with a fine solo effort to round off a perfect day in the north-west.
The goal comes at a perfect time as we restart our Champions League campaign next week with a trip to Porto.
Havertz has happy memories at the Estadio do Dragao after scoring the winner in the Champions League final at the ground in 2021 and is hoping to create more happy memories in Porto next week.
He said: “For me, it’s always going to be a nice memory and I’m looking forward to going there [Estadio do Dragao] again.
“I have good memories there, things are always going to be hard there but I’m really looking forward to it and hopefully we’re going to win the game.
“I think every team that plays in the Champions League wants to win it and that’s the goal and we all go into this competition to go as far as possible.
“But still you have to look game-by-game, there are two games to play now. Wednesday’s the first one, try to win it and see for the other game as well.”
