Manchester United progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup after a 1-1 draw against Arsenal, triumphing 5-3 on penalties.
The match was defined by Arsenal’s top striker, Kai Havertz, who missed three golden chances during regular time and squandered his penalty in the shootout. Havertz’s performance added to a growing list of costly errors in crucial games, yet he remains a constant presence in Arsenal’s starting lineup. Despite his repeated missteps, Arsenal’s coach, Mikel Arteta continues to keep faith in him, even as his mistakes increasingly impact results.
United capitalised on Havertz’s struggles, holding firm throughout the game and maintaining composure in the penalty shootout to seal the win.
Arsenal’s exit will no doubt raise questions about Havertz’s form and the lack of accountability for his performances.
