Kai Havertz certainly imagined his 100th Premier League game differently. On Saturday he was back with Arsenal FC at his old place of work at Chelsea FC, where he had played for three years before his move this summer. And Arsenal lost important points in the race for the English championship: Chelsea surprisingly led 2-0 until shortly before the end, and Arsenal at least equalized with two late goals.
That speaks for the character of the team, as coach Mikel Arteta emphasized afterwards; But a draw is far too little considering Chelsea’s position in the table. But what might annoy Havertz even more than the result is his role in the game. Until he was substituted on in the 78th minute, he only sat on the bench.
