Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta rejected criticism of Kai Havertz after their 2-2 draw with Fulham.

Arteta was asked if the fans are turning on the German.

He said, "No, I saw an action when he played backwards and he could have turned. That's more I think the demands of everybody to play forward and to impact the game in the final third because we had the urgency to win.

Asked if he'll win over the fans, Havertz said: "Yes I think so.

"I think he's done already really good things. Today it was tough in certain moments. He got in great areas and the ball didn't arrive. In a lot of situations he should have scored a lot of goals already this season. That's the thing that is missing there."
