Kai Havertz is making a habit of punishing Coventry City. The Arsenal forward netted his second Premier League goal of the 2026-27 season on September 2, helping the Gunners to a 3-0 win and keeping their title defense humming along nicely through two matches.
A hot start getting hotter
Havertz opened his account for the new campaign on August 21 against the same opposition, scoring in what was also a 3-0 Arsenal win. He also found the net in the FA Community Shield on August 16 against Manchester City, another match Arsenal won 3-0. Three matches, three goals, three identical scorelines.
For Havertz, this kind of consistency represents exactly what Arsenal paid for when they brought him over from Chelsea in 2023. The 27-year-old delivered 13 goals during the 2024-25 Premier League season, establishing himself as a genuine goal-scoring option. That output played a significant role in Arsenal’s 2025-26 title-winning campaign.
