Kai Havertz dedicated his goal against Crystal Palace to his pregnant wife Sophia.
Havertz scored in the 38th minute as Arsenal cruised to an impressive 5-1 victory at Selhurst Park.
After scoring, Havertz celebrated by stuffing the ball under his shirt and sucking his thumb.
The 25-year-old and his wife Sophia announced last month that they were expecting a baby, describing it as “our biggest blessing.”
Havertz and Sophia tied the knot on July 18 of this year after getting engaged in 2023.
So far this season, Havertz has scored six goals and provided two assists in 16 Premier League appearances.

In total in all competitions since joining Arsenal from Chelsea in 2023, Havertz has played 75 games and scored 25 goals, as well as ten assists.
Gabriel Jesus gave Arsenal the lead early on before Palace equalized through Ismaila Sarr.
Jesus then restored Arsenal’s lead before Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Declan Rice managed to score.
Arsenal’s victory allowed them to reduce the difference with the leader Liverpool to three points, although Arne Slot’s team has two games less.
However, the injury suffered by Bukayo Saka will be a cause for concern for Mikel Arteta’s team.
Saka had to be substituted in the first half and was replaced by Martinelli.
Arsenal will return to action on December 27 with a home game against Ipswich.
