Gunner's Gaffer, Mikel Arteta, was in awe of Kai Havertz for his exceptional performance as Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Kai Havertz's goal and Bukayo Saka's contribution demonstrated Arsenal's dominance at the Emirates Stadium in their second Champions League fixture.

After securing a draw in their opening league phase match against Atalanta, Arteta's team has accumulated four points in their quest to advance to the knockout stage of the restructured tournament.

Having been knocked out by Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals last season and narrowly missing out on the English title to Manchester City, the Gunners are currently on a nine-game unbeaten streak in all competitions this season as they pursue success on multiple fronts.

More Positives for Arsenal

Arsenal received more positive news as Spain midfielder Mikel Merino finally made his long-awaited debut, playing the last 30 minutes. Merino's recovery from a shoulder injury sustained in his first training session after his move from Real Sociedad during the close season was a much-needed lift for Arteta, especially with Martin Odegaard currently sidelined.

PSG's performance was impacted by the absence of Ousmane Dembele, who was left out due to reported issues with Luis Enrique after being substituted in their win over Rennes. Additionally, Arsenal has shown proficiency in scoring from free-kicks and corners, whereas PSG has struggled in this aspect.
