Brentford Slips to 15th as Havertz Dive Adds to Premier League Drama
Brentford has expressed frustration towards Arsenal forward Kai Havertz accusing him of simulation during their recent match. The controversy arose when Havertz went down in the penalty area after a challenge with Nathan Collins with minimal apparent contact.
Despite being on a yellow card, Havertz escaped with a caution. Brentford criticized the incident on social media and manager Thomas Frank argued that Havertz should not have been on the pitch to score the winning goal. The referee’s decision faced scrutiny with pundits suggesting he was not in an optimal position to judge.
Despite the controversy, Arsenal victory extended their unbeaten run securing the top spot in the Premier League while Brentford continues to struggle dropping to 15th place.
