Havertz Scores in Four Consecutive Starts
Havertz has now scored in four consecutive starts for the first time in English football, underlining his excellent run of form heading into the new Premier League campaign.
His goals were as follows:
- 1 goal vs Burnley (2025-26 Premier League)
- 1 goal vs Paris Saint-Germain (2026 Champions League Final)
- 1 goal vs Manchester City (2026 Community Shield)
- 1 goal vs Coventry City (2026-27 Premier League)
The run demonstrates Havertz's growing confidence in front of goal and gives Arsenal another reason to be optimistic about his contribution this season.
His goal against Coventry was particularly important because it came in Arsenal's opening Premier League fixture of the campaign. Havertz made no mistake when the opportunity arrived, giving the Gunners the perfect start at the Emirates.
Arteta's Trust in Havertz
Havertz's latest goal also provides further evidence of his importance to Mikel Arteta's plans.
The Arsenal manager has clearly indicated that Havertz is his number one striker by selecting him ahead of Viktor Gyökeres in both the Community Shield and now the opening Premier League fixture against Coventry.
That decision is significant given the competition for the centre-forward position. Gyökeres arrived at Arsenal with a huge reputation after his prolific spell in Portugal, but he hasn't been able to rediscover those goalscoring instincts at Arsenal.
The German has gradually established himself as an important part of Arsenal's attacking structure since moving to the club from Chelsea. His versatility, movement and ability to contribute in different areas have made him particularly valuable to Arteta.
Now, with four consecutive starts ending in goals, Havertz appears to be carrying strong momentum into the new campaign.
