Havertz Seals Arsenal's Victory Over Sporting with Late Goal

A late strike from substitute Kai Havertz gave Arsenal a 1-0 victory over Sporting in Lisbon, thanks in large part to the impressive goalkeeping of David Raya. The match seemed destined for a draw until Havertz scored in the 91st minute, following a pass from fellow substitute Gabriel Martinelli. Raya had made several crucial saves throughout the game, including tipping a shot from Maxi Araujo onto the crossbar and making vital stops from Geny Catamo and Luis Suarez. Arsenal's win was also marked by the Champions League knockout debut of 16-year-old Max Dowman, who became the youngest English player in the competition's history. The victory puts Arsenal in a strong position ahead of the second leg and keeps them on track to reach back-to-back Champions League semi-finals for the first time in the club's history.
