The hosts registered 26 shots in total, with Havertz guilty of two bad misses. He was also the only player to fail in the shootout, as Altay Bayindir saved his spot-kick to give Joshua Zirkzee the chance to win the game and moved on to the fourth-round.
Reacting to the loss, Piers Morgan, who is a die-hard fan of the North London club, said Arsenal were ‘pathetic’ on the night.
He went on to wonder how they lost to a team that played with 10 men for a large part of the encounter.
“Pathetic, Arsenal. How can you lose at home to a team that has 10 men for that long?
“So long as Havertz is our main striker, we have zero chance of winning any big trophies.
“He was abysmal today. If Arteta doesn’t buy big this window, including a top striker, our season is over.” the controversial journalist tweeted.
