Kai Havertz scored in the 15th minute of Arsenal’s 2026–27 Premier League opener.
His goal put Arsenal 1–0 ahead against Coventry City in the first match of the campaign. Arsenal went on to win 3–0, making the early breakthrough the foundation of a comfortable opening-night victory.
The goal arrived during Arsenal’s strong start at the Emirates Stadium. The champions applied pressure high up the pitch, and the move ended with Havertz finishing for the first goal of the new league season.
The timing can be confused with Bukayo Saka’s later first-half goal or with other minute markers from the match. The key distinction is that Havertz’s goal was both Arsenal’s opener and the Premier League season’s first goal.
