Arsenal suffered the worst possible blow against Newcastle United despite winning the game.
Apart from giving away a chance in the opening minute, the Gunners looked good going forward in the first half.
All the forward players combined well, and Eberechi Eze scored the opener with a fantastic shot from outside the box.
However, a few moments later, the Gunners suffered what could be a season-changing blow – Kai Havertz got injured.

Arsenal fans think the season is ‘over’ after Kai Havertz’s injury
Havertz was Arsenal’s best player against Manchester City last weekend, and he started the clash against Newcastle United really well too.
However, the German suffered what appeared to be a muscular injury, and he had to walk off the pitch.
As he departed, Havertz looked incredibly upset, which could be a suggestion that he thinks it is not a minor knock.
Arsenal fans noticed that too, and many are of the opinion that the season is ‘finished’ if the attacker is out for a significant period.
One supporter tweeted: “Havertz injured, title over.”
Another wrote: “Havertz injured?? We are finished. I can’t believe this.”
“Havertz injured again, it’s done. Title over,” said another.
Another Gooner posted: “Hate to say it, but Havertz injury = season over.”
“Arsenal fans can now bid goodbye to the title with that Havertz injury. The season is over. Gyokeres cannot win you the title. We go again next season,” wrote another.
Can Arsenal win the Premier League without Kai Havertz?
Viktor Gyokeres needs to step up more than ever before for Arsenal
Viktor Gyokeres replaced Havertz after his injury, but he didn’t do much in the rest of the half.
The Swede is a completely different type of striker compared to the former Chelsea man. He doesn’t get involved as much, isn’t that good at linking up play, and just doesn’t have the same kind of chemistry with the players around him.
However, if Arsenal want to win the Premier League, Gyokeres needs to step up big time.
Everyone knows how good he is in front of goal, and he needs to find a way to get on the end of balls and finish ruthlessly.
If that doesn’t happen, Arsenal’s dreams will be over.
