Havertz Saves Arsenal's Season With Dramatic Late Winner
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his team had "a point to prove" after two painful defeats. A last-minute goal by substitute Kai Havertz gave them a critical 1-0 away win against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League.
The victory could be a "big moment" in Arsenal's season, according to Arteta. It comes after losses to Manchester City in a cup final and to second-tier Southampton in the FA Cup.
Goalkeeper David Raya was key to the win. Arteta praised his "extraordinary" performance after he made three crucial saves to keep the game level before Havertz scored.
Arteta had previously urged his players to rediscover their identity. The late goal in Portugal provides major relief as the club continues its European campaign.
