Arsenal fans debuted a new chant for Kai Havertz after he scored his first goal for the club following his summer transfer.
Havertz had not registered a goal or an assist in his first nine games for Arsenal after his £65 million switch from Chelsea.
But the German finally broke his duck on Saturday when he converted a penalty in his team's 4-0 victory over Bournemouth.

Martin Odegaard had tucked away a penalty in the first-half, but he gave up the chance to score another goal as he gave his teammate the ball after the break.
Havertz made no mistake from the spot, with the travelling fans coming up with an epic chant for the player.
To the tune of Waka Waka by Shakira, supporters at the Vitality Stadium sang: "Waka waka, eh, eh, £60 million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again."
Fellow summer signing Declan Rice spoke of his delight at Havertz scoring his first goal for Arsenal.
Speaking after the result, he said: "It was emotional, for the fans, for Kai, for everyone involved, because we want him to succeed so much.

"Honestly, he works his socks off every day in training. In games he gives absolutely everything."
Rice added: "He’s had chances to score this year, hadn’t scored yet, but today to slot away a penalty in that high pressure moment, shows the mindset that he’s got, shows the talent he’s got and his all-round performance was so special, I’m so happy for him."
