Arsenal FC made history in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night with a narrow 1-0 victory over Sporting CP in Lisbon.
Kai Havertz emerged the hero, netting a dramatic stoppage-time winner to hand the Gunners a crucial first-leg advantage ahead of the return fixture at the Emirates Stadium.
According to Opta, the result means Arsenal have now recorded 38 goal involvements from substitutes across all competitions this season (24 goals, 14 assists) — the highest tally among teams in Europe’s top five leagues.
Mikel Arteta’s side also remain the only unbeaten team in this season’s Champions League.
Arsenal will now shift focus to their next Premier League clash against Bournemouth this weekend.
