Chelsea fans were left fuming at Kai Havertz after his involvement for Arsenal in the London derby on Sunday afternoon.
The German international spent three years at Stamford Bridge after a big-money move from Bayer Leverkusen, with hopes that he would kick on to become a key figure.
Playing as a centre-forward, he never quite settled properly for the Blues, struggling to stamp the quality that he is capable of.
That saw him join Arsenal in 2023, with Mikel Arteta hopeful of unlocking Havertz and getting the most out of his ability.
The move to the Emirates Stadium has made a few unhappy at Chelsea, especially with his reaction in the head-to-head on Sunday.

Kai Havertz celebrates at Chelsea fans after Arsenal goal
Chelsea fans chanted that Havertz was a “Chelsea reject” for much of the first half, attempting to insult the former player for his move from blue to red.
That almost came back to bite them as the Gunners opened up the home side for the striker to slot home an opener.
Following that was a shot back at the Stamford Bridge faithful, putting his finger to his lips and seemingly shushing the supporters.
While that would’ve been some response, Havertz was left with egg on his face as VAR overturned the goal and gave it as offside.
It was a frustrating moment for the Gunners, but the Chelsea fans were far from happy with their former player.
Chelsea fans react to Kai Havertz shushing celebration
With the shushing celebration wheeled out by Havertz, Chelsea fans took to social media to vent their frustrations.
One supporter said: “Thank God this was offside cause Havertz really hates us,” while another added: “Kai Havertz is really a snake no doubt about that. Scoring against your former club and celebrating shows how ungrateful he is.”
Other fans made a point about winning the Champions League, claiming: “Why’s Havertz shushing absolute wasteman we gave you a UCL.” and “Havertz is such an ungrateful player. 0 respect for a club who won you the Champions League is horrendous.”
Another added: “That was so embarrassing from Havertz, shushed the crowd of the team he won the UCL with after his goal which was called offside anyways. This is why no one likes him.”
Though, a slight correction on that, Havertz won Chelsea the Champions League with his goal against Manchester City in 2021.
In the end though, the Arsenal star will be frustrated it was called offside, regardless of if he annoyed his former fans or not.
