Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, and Declan Rice were the goal scorers in a match where Arsenal faced a second-half scare from Bournemouth.
Arsenal dominated the first half but struggled to break through the Cherries’ defense until the dying minutes of the opening period.
Havertz was adjudged fouled inside the box by goalkeeper Mark Travers, leading to a penalty for Arsenal.
The former Chelsea man seemed to have purposely left a leg to initiate contact with the Bournemouth goalkeeper.
But after VAR review, the decision stood, and Bukayo Saka confidently converted the spot-kick to give Arsenal the lead just before halftime.
Controversy ensued in the second half as Bournemouth had a goal disallowed due to a contentious foul on goalkeeper David Raya.
Despite a lengthy VAR review, the goal was not awarded to Bournemouth.
