      <title>Havertz hails Arsenal turnaround in Champions League win over Sporting</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330456606/havertz-hails-arsenal-turnaround-in-champions-league-win-over-sporting</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Sporting in the Champions League quarter-final was a big turnaround for the English club after ​the back-to-back defeats in the FA Cup and ‌League Cup, attacker Kai Havertz said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Havertz scored the winning goal against Sporting in the tie after coming on as a substitute to give Arsenal ​an advantage heading into next week’s return leg in ​London.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Definitely a big turnaround for us because we lost ⁠the last two matches. So we wanted to get a ​turnaround today, and we made that happen,” the German told ​Amazon Prime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arsenal’s ‘quadruple’ hopes have been downgraded to a ‘double’ this season following their defeat by Manchester City in the League Cup final and shock loss to Championship side Southampton in the FA Cup on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, Havertz said ​the north London club can still end the season with trophies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We stick ‌together ⁠as a group; we have so much more to come this season. Seven weeks to go, we can win big titles, and we’re going to go for that,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Havertz was ​also full of ​praise for ⁠goalkeeper David Raya, who was the player of the match in the Champions League tie ​as he was forced into making several crucial ​interventions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“For me, ⁠the last two seasons, the best keeper in the world. He’s (David Raya) outstanding, he’s saved us so many times, and we’re ⁠very ​glad to have him.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arsenal, who are ​top of the standings with 70 points, host Bournemouth in the Premier League ​on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
