Mikel Arteta has admitted that Kai Havertz needs to do better in front of goal after he fired another blank in Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Fulham.
Arsenal dropped points in 2-2 draw with Fulhamtrailing 1-0 following Andreas Pereira's early strike. The German missed one gilt-edged chance when he failed to convert Bukayo Saka's cut-back across the face of goal, and there were murmurs of discontent from Arsenal fans whenever he was on the ball.Arsenal boss Arteta defended his £65 million summer signing after the game, but admitted he must improve.
Yes, I think [he will win the fans over]," Arteta said. "I think he’s done already really good things today. It was tough for him in certain moments, he got in great areas again and the ball didn’t arrive. He’s had a lot of situations, he should have scored already a lot of goals this season, and that’s the thing that is missing there."Havertz's tame performance was highlighted by the impact his replacement - Fabio Vieira - had off the bench.
