But it only came about thanks to some ponderous defending from Casemiro – and Havertz’s ingenuity.
The Arsenal star revealed he noticed Casemiro out of position and playing him onside, so quickly made sure the ball was played forward to him quickly.
Havertz told Sky Sports post-match: “I looked to my right and saw him still on the 6-yard line and I called Ben [White] and he saw me straight away.
“Then it was a one vs one situation and this guy [Leandro Trossard] scored.”
Arsenal’s win means they still have a chance of winning the title – but need rivals Manchester City to drop points.
Pep Guardiola’s side face a trip to Tottenham on Tuesday and Havertz revealed he will be cheering on the Gunners’ North London rivals.
He said: “I’m gonna be the biggest Tottenham fan ever on Tuesday.”
Regardless of where the Premier League trophy ends up Arsenal have had a season to remember, and broke two records against United.
Mikel Arteta’s side have now won 27 league games this season – their highest return in a single season, with 89 goals scored also a new record.
