Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was full of praise for Kai Havertz after victory at Brighton.

Havertz was outstanding and scored in the 3-0 win.

Arteta said: "He's certainly having a huge impact on the team. His overall performances have been really good and now his numbers for goal contributions are really high. He needs to maintain that. I think his understanding with the attacking players was superb. I think they had real purpose and connection and a lot of clarity on where to attack and we created many chances.

"A lot of times the players decide where they have to play. You can have certain ideas but then you see certain relationships and it flows. When it flows you have to let it go. That's what is happening with Kai at the moment and he feels really comfortable there. The team is really comfortable with him there and the rest has happened naturally.

"Obviously he is in a very different moment. He has some fantastic players around him and we have tried to create the right environment for him, which I think is very important for any player, that they feel confident and we hopefully give him the love he needs. He has the admiration of the rest of the players and staff at the club and now the supporters of our club, for sure."
