IT took Kai Havertz 20 games to score his first for Arsenal from open play last season.
But this year, the big German is ready to rumble from the off – his opening day header in the 25th minute helping the Gunners to a dream start to their Premier League title surge.
Boss Mikel Arteta is still in two minds over where to play his £65million star – beginning last term as a midfielder before ending as a No9 with a flurry of goals taking his tally to 14.
Yet when you see how lethal Havertz is when leading this line, it is hard to explain why Arteta insists on keeping an open mind when it comes to the 25-year-old.
His near-post header was a thing of simplistic beauty, one that harped back to an old-age era of big lumps up top.
The precision of Bukayo Saka’s delivery, cutting in from the left, was met with the bravery of Havertz – even if the defending from Wolves left a lot to be desired, and Gary O’Neil red with rage on the Emirates touchline.
