Havertz scored and provided an assist as the Gunners secured a comfortable 3-0 away win on Saturday night.

The victory was enough to take Mikel Arteta’s side to the top of the Premier League ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Manchester United on Sunday.

However, Havertz’s decision to hand his shirt to Brighton’s assistant manager angered Tim Sherwood.

The former Tottenham boss was shocked by the incident and made his feelings known at full-time.

He told Premier League Productions: “Interesting there I see Kai Havertz giving his shirt to the assistant manager of Brighton.

“I can’t have that. What the hell is that man thinking about?!”

Havertz enjoyed an eventful evening as he scored his 10th Arsenal goal to double their lead during the second half.

The strike was also his ninth in the league this season, the most he has managed since moving to England.

He later went on to set up Leandro Trossard for Arsenal’s third goal before being replaced by Eddie Nketiah late on.

The Gunners now sit a point ahead of title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City with seven matches left.

However, the Reds have played one less and will return to the summit by beating United at Old Trafford.
