Arsenal see £65m transfer prediction pay-off as Mikel Arteta shows Man City how it's done

Arsenal came away from the Emirates having ended a poor run against Brighton and responding perfectly to their defeat at Aston Villa a week prior.Two goals from two key players will make headlines along with Mikel Arteta’s booking.

It was important that Arsenal simply got the job done against Brighton and Arteta will be very thankful they eventually did just that.

This Arsenal team has shown real grit in fighting back against some adversity on and off the field. The performances had plenty of successes but made it difficult for football.london to find the frustrations on the night which we should know by now is certainly a good thing.

His third Premier League goal in five games and yet another massively important one against a tough side too. What was more encouraging is that it was a different type of goal than what has seen him rise in estimations of the fans so far with his late arrivals into the box.

This time it was on the German to show composure, pace and strong touches before finding a finish past the Brighton keeper. Outside of the goal itself, Havertz was excellent off the ball and was a nuisance all game as he worked tirelessly for his team.
