WHY DID MIKEL ARTETA SUB HIM? THE REAL REASON KAI HAVERTZ LEFT AT HALFTIME
Kai Havertz marks his first start in 357 days with a goal and assist as Arsenal beat Kairat 3-2 to secure a perfect UCL record.
Mikel Arteta believes Kai Havertz can push Arsenal to new heights after the German scored and set up two more in their 3-2 Champions League win over Kairat at the Emirates.
Havertz, starting for the first time in almost a year after dealing with hamstring and knee injuries, wasted no time. He set up Viktor Gyokeres for a goal in just the second minute.
Kairat hit back right away, with Jorginho converting a penalty to even things up. But Havertz wasn’t done. He scored his first goal in nearly a year to put Arsenal back in front.
Then, with about nine minutes left in the first half, Gabriel Martinelli finished off another Havertz cross to make it three. Kairat did pull one back in stoppage time—Ricardinho headed home for them—but Arsenal held on, wrapping up eight wins from eight in the group stage.
Arteta subbed Havertz off at the break, still taking it slow as he returns to full fitness. But he was thrilled with what he saw in that first half. “This is going to give him so much confidence, and it lifts the whole team, too,” Arteta said. “Everyone knows how important Kai is and how much better he makes us. To see him do all that after so long out—impressive, honestly. The quality, the way he linked up with the team, the goal, the assists—it was all really positive.”
He added, “Let’s get him properly involved and make sure we use him right, because he’s going to be huge for us in the second half of the season.”
When asked about taking Havertz off at half-time, Arteta explained, “He’s fine. That was always the plan—just the first 45 minutes. He definitely wanted to stay on.”
Arsenal’s win means they top the group. After falling short in the semi-finals last season, they’re back in the last 16 in March, with Atalanta, Bayer Leverkusen, Olympiacos, or Borussia Dortmund waiting.
Arteta said, “I’m proud of the players and what we’ve done in this stage. Winning eight straight in the Champions League isn’t easy—just look at what’s happened to other teams. We need to recognise that, but now it’s time to pause, reflect, and get ready for the next opponent. One game at a time.”
Next up, Arsenal heads to Elland Road to face Leeds on Saturday. Even after losing to Manchester United on Sunday, they’re still four points clear at the top of the Premier League.
JURRIëN TIMBER: CARABAO CUP VICTORY CAN "SPRINGBOARD" ARSENAL TOWARD A HISTORIC QUADRUPLE
Jurriën Timber reveals how Kai Havertz’s return from a year-long injury has "electrified" the Arsenal squad ahead of Wembley.
Jurriën Timber didn’t hold back on the praise for Kai Havertz after Arsenal punched their ticket to the Carabao Cup final. Havertz, fresh off a long injury layoff, came off the bench and put the game to bed with a stoppage-time goal against Chelsea.
It’s wild to think Havertz spent almost a year sidelined with hamstring and knee problems. Now, he’s scored twice in his last three games. You can feel the lift he gives the squad. “Kai’s presence makes a huge difference, both in the dressing room and out on the pitch,” Timber said. “Everyone can see the quality he brings, and honestly, we were all buzzing for him. He’s a fun guy to have around, not quiet at all, and everyone loves him. When he’s missing, you notice. So, we’re just glad he’s back.”
Timber hopes Havertz soaks up this moment—and that there’s plenty more to come.
Looking ahead, Timber sees the Carabao Cup as more than just a trophy—it could be the confidence boost Arsenal needs for an even bigger season. After beating Chelsea at home, they’re one win away from ending a six-year trophy drought. The vibe around the club is different this year. Arsenal sits six points clear at the top of the Premier League; they breezed through the Champions League group stage, and in just over a week, they’ll host Wigan in the FA Cup.
When someone asked Timber if a Carabao Cup win could lead to more silverware, he didn’t dodge the question: “We haven’t won anything yet, but we’ve put ourselves in a great spot. The Carabao Cup final comes early, so if we get that win, it could push us on for the rest of the season. You can’t always play your absolute best, but this team finds ways to win. We did it away at Chelsea, which is tough, and then at home too. We deserve this.”
You could see the relief and joy when they clinched their spot at Wembley. Timber summed it up pretty well: everyone’s hoping there’s more to celebrate soon.
Next up, Arsenal are back at the Emirates on Saturday against Sunderland. If they win, they could stretch their lead over Manchester City to nine points—at least until City faces Liverpool the following day. The momentum’s building.
KAI HAVERTZ HAUNTS CHELSEA WITH LAST-GASP WINNER TO SEND ARSENAL TO WEMBLEY
Kai Havertz sends Arsenal to the Carabao Cup final with a dramatic 96th-minute winner against his former club, Chelsea.
Kai Havertz sealed the deal for Arsenal with a last-gasp goal in stoppage time, sending them past Chelsea 1-0 on the night and into the Carabao Cup final. That win, added to their 3-2 lead from the first leg at Stamford Bridge, means Arsenal are now just one step away from ending their trophy drought.
Havertz, who used to wear Chelsea blue, made sure Arsenal booked their spot at Wembley—marking their first final since lifting the FA Cup in 2020. He calmly rounded Robert Sanchez and slotted home with practically the last kick.
This season’s been rolling along nicely for Arsenal. They’re six points clear at the top of the Premier League and sailed through the Champions League group stage without dropping a point. Now, the Carabao Cup offers Arteta his first shot at silverware this year and only the second in his six years in charge.
Most likely, Arteta will run into some familiar faces in the final. Manchester City, his old club, have a two-goal cushion over Newcastle ahead of their own semi-final at the Etihad.
Unlike the first leg—a wild, open game—tonight was tense and cagey. Liam Rosenior, fresh off five straight wins, packed Chelsea’s defence with five at the back to keep Arsenal quiet. It mostly worked. The only real threat in the first half came when Piero Hincapie forced Sanchez into a decent save from distance after 18 minutes.
Arsenal usually make set pieces count, but Chelsea had a plan. They left three attackers upfield for every Arsenal corner, which forced Arsenal to hold back and took the sting out of their routines.
Just before halftime, former Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga had to punch away a strike from Enzo Fernandez.
The second half started with Arsenal still in control, but Chelsea were hanging around, just one goal behind on aggregate. In the hour, Cole Palmer and Estevao came on to chase an equaliser. Cucurella and Fernandez both tried their luck from a distance, but nothing came off.
Arsenal started to look a bit nervous. Declan Rice tried to settle everyone down—his teammates and maybe the crowd, too—as the tension ramped up.
Gabriel had a good chance to put things to bed with 14 minutes left, but Cucurella got in the way of his header from Martin Zubimendi’s cross. Down the other end, Wesley Fofana’s flick from a corner zipped just past Kepa’s post. Fernandez then blasted over as the clock hit 90, with six minutes of stoppage time to go.
Chelsea kept pushing, but honestly, they never really looked like they were forcing extra time. Then, right at the death, Havertz latched onto Rice’s pass and finished coolly. Arsenal march on, their season just getting better and better.
