Havertz comes off the bench and honors the Gunners in Lisbon

Arsenal picked up an important victory in Lisbon, after a 0-1 triumph over Sporting in the final moments of the match.

The teams played a relatively even game in the first half with Sporting preferring to wait for the Londoners to hit them with counterattacks, where for the Lusitanians the one who stood out was Araujo, who also hit the crossbar.

On the other side, Arsenal tried to keep possession but didn't have much verticality. The clearest chance for the "Gunners" was that of Madueke who attempted an Olympic goal from a corner kick with the ball hitting the crossbar.

In the second half, the teams looked more demanding compared to the first, with Arsenal scoring in the 64th minute through Zubimendi, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside position by Gyokere.

It seemed like the match was heading towards a 0-0 draw, with Havertz scoring the winning goal for the Gunners that gives them the advantage for the London match.
