Fans fume Havertz 'knew what he was doing' as Arsenal get 'embarrassing’ penalty

FANS have been left fuming after Kai Havertz won a penalty against Bournemouth.

The Arsenal star was brought down by goalkeeper Mark Travers in the first half of their vital Premier League match.

Bukayo Saka cooly converted the spot-kick by sending Travers the wrong way at the Emirates Stadium.

But fans were not impressed with the way Havertz won the decision.

Many took to social media to claim that the German "knew what he was doing".

It is suggested that the attacker left his foot low to initiate contact with the goalkeeper and get the decision.

One fan posted: "Few players are smart to get these decisions right in their favor.

"Havertz clearly knew what he was doing.

"Said this before. Title challenging three would get soft decisions in their favor most times.

"No ref has the guts to give the right decision here."

A second commented: "On what planet is this a penalty? Embarrassing."

A third wrote: "If this went against Arsenal you’d be screaming corruption."

A fourth said: "Instead of giving these as penalties, if we're serious about getting rid of simulation, this should be a yellow card for Havertz."

Another added: "Fair play Havertz, but he's played the game there. Deliberately drags his foot.

"VAR is a fucking joke not turning that round. What's the point in it?"

The match is a must-win for the Gunners if they want to win the Premier League.

They need to win all of their remaining games and for Manchester City to drop points.
