Mikel Arteta ‘surprised’ by Arsenal star’s disciplinary record amid suspension fear

Mikel Arteta had expressed his surprise over how many yellow cards Kai Havertz has received, with the Arsenal star on the verge of a two-game ban.

After a shaky start, the German international has found his feet at the Emirates and is now a pivotal player for Arsenal as they look to beat Liverpool and Manchester City to the Premier League title.

The Gunners went top of the table on Wednesday night thanks to a 2-0 win over Luton Town, with Havertz assisting Martin Odegaard for the opening goal.

It was another fine performance from the 24-year-old, aside from picking up a needless yellow card in the 66th minute for diving.
