Kai Havertz has a thing for scoring against Chelsea. The German forward leveled the score for Arsenal after Morgan Rogers gave the visitors a shock lead inside two minutes at the Emirates Stadium, keeping the London derby finely balanced on Matchday 3 of the 2026-27 Premier League season.

Both sides entered the fixture sitting pretty on 6 points from their opening two games. A perfect record on the line for both clubs, and all the ingredients of an early-season statement match.

Rogers strikes first, Havertz responds

Chelsea came out swinging. Morgan Rogers needed barely 120 seconds to find the back of the net, silencing the Emirates crowd before most fans had settled into their seats.

Havertz restored parity shortly after. He netted a stoppage-time winner against Chelsea back in February 2026, so the man clearly saves his best work for the blue shirts.
