Arsenal and Chelsea fans clash over Kai Havertz’s celebration

Havertz scored a brace in the game that ended in a 5-0 mauling of Chelsea who suffered their heaviest defeat at the hands of their London rivals.

A section of Chelsea fans were upset by Havertz’s decision and took to social media to accuse the German midfielder of disrespecting the club he once played for.

Arsenal fans, on the other hand, justified Havertz’s decision on the premise that he was bullied and forced out by Chelsea and therefore owes them no loyalty or respect.

Arsenal, following the win, have extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table. They have 77 points, while Liverpool sit second with 74 points. Manchester City are third with 73 points.

Liverpool has a game in hand while Manchester City have two games in hand.

Nothing made me more happier than seeing Havertz celebrate after scoring against Chelsea. I’d be pissed if he never celebrated 😅 pic.twitter.com/ZBjjKEdsWC

I actually like how Havertz didn’t hold back with his goal celebration. Players should be free to celebrate goals with their current fans- it doesn’t matter who they score against.
