The Arsenal forward started the match and caused the Serbian defence plenty of problems as Germany secured a 3-1 win. He was directly involved in the opening two goals, demonstrating why he remains a trusted attacking option for both club and country.
At Arsenal, Havertz has been ahead of Viktor Gyokeres, who arrived as one of the most lethal strikers in the world. His position in the Germany team appears even more secure, with the attacker continuing to show his importance whenever he represents his country.
Havertz helps Germany take control
According to the DFB website, Havertz’s early header was diverted into the net by Srdjan Babic, who inadvertently scored an own goal to give Germany the lead.
The Arsenal man continued to trouble Serbia as he looked for a goal of his own. He was soon played through on goal and produced an effort that was saved by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
However, the rebound fell kindly to Florian Wirtz, who made no mistake and finished to extend Germany’s advantage. Havertz’s involvement in the move meant he had played a direct part in both of his team’s opening goals.
His movement and attacking threat continued to cause problems for the Serbian defence, with Germany looking increasingly comfortable as the match progressed.
Arsenal forward impresses before substitution
Havertz came close to adding another contribution when he attempted to make it 3-0. He connected with a header from a Brajan Gruda delivery but sent his effort wide of the target.
Although he did not find the net himself, his performance was an important part of Germany’s victory. The forward continued to lead the line effectively before being substituted in the second half after an impressive display.
The 3-1 result gave Germany an important Nations League win, while Havertz once again showed the qualities that make him a valuable option for his country.
His performance will also encourage Arsenal, who will be pleased to see their forward maintaining his form during the international break.
