Havertz struck deep into stoppage time to hand Arsenal FC a narrow win in Lisbon, but the German forward was quick to highlight Raya\u2019s standout performance that ensured the visitors kept a clean sheet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"He's unbelievable - I still think people underestimate him in the football world, but for the last two years, I don't know, maybe he's been the best 'keeper in the world and we're all glad to have him here,\u201d Havertz was quoted by Arsenal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The decisive goal came after a key contribution from substitute Gabriel Martinelli, who made an immediate impact off the bench with a perfectly weighted assist.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI've said that about 80 per cent of the goal goes to him,\u201d Havertz said afterwards. \u201cI was there to finish it off. I but it was a top assist from him, I saw him and he just played the perfect pass and it was a good goal.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
