Arsenal press conference LIVE: Mikel Arteta on Sporting CP, Kai Havertz goal and big win

Mikel Arteta faces the media after his side earned a huge late win in Lisbon courtesy of a final touch from Kai Havertz’s boot to win the game.

The Gunners were given quite the task by their Portuguese opponents, who were perhaps a little unlucky not to have a lead at the break, having struck the bar early on. Noni Madueke also hit the bar directly from a corner kick.

Arteta would have been gutted when Martin Zubimendi’s strike, which beat Rui Silva, was ruled out with Viktor Gyokeres standing two yards offside. However, after some good David Raya stops, Kai Havertz would win it late on.
