Kai Havertz was delighted proving Arsenal's matchwinner at Brentford.

The attacker scored in the 89th minute for the only goal of the game.

Havertz said: "These late winners are nice and then to celebrate in front of the fans it was a good feeling for sure.

"The cross was amazing and I thought maybe why not do this run and the ball was perfect and I scored.

"We knew before it was going to be hard especially here and they made it hard for us. Brentford had one or two good chances, but the game was in our hands and we played well and deserved to win I think."

On coming back from international duty, he said: "Of course it is hard. There is lots of games and travel, for me I am lucky all I have to do is travel to Germany. The South American players [travel far] and Takehiro Tomiyasu goes to Japan.

"It is very crazy and we have to hope they [international players] do not get injured but for me it is easy compared to them.

"You know it is a very important period over Christmas you have lots of games. We have to focus for sure and be 100% on Arsenal games."

On his goal giving him momentum, Havertz also said: "I hope so, we will see."
