Arsenal told why Kai Havertz winner shouldn’t have stood as Brentford boss Thomas Frank makes ‘clear dive’ claim against Gunners hero

Premier League

Nottingham Forest

Everton

Brentford

With the game tied at 1-1 heading into the late stages, Havertz popped up with a late goal to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-brentford-kai-havertz-aaron-ramsdale/bltbfe13cc9e37e6216" target="_blank">restore Arsenal's lead and secure the three points</a>, lifting his team to the top of the Premier League. The Germany international had been booked in the first half and Frank believes he should have been shown a second yellow card for going down easily midway through the second period.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Bees manager told Sky Sports: "I actually don't think Havertz should be on the pitch when he scored. It was a clear dive. Maybe it is difficult for the ref but the linesman should have seen it."He added to BBC Sport: "[The players] were very angry because they felt they were hard done by with the penalty shout with Havertz. You can see the angles, it was clearly a dive. That was a second yellow and then it is 11 v 10. I think that was a crucial moment in the game. I hope they admit they got something with them there, because last time there was a lot of complaint about a VAR situation marginally going our way. Hopefully they remember that when they talk after the game."

WHAT FRANK SAID

Despite the controversy, Arsenal saw out the win and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-jurgen-klopp-winning-premier-league-title-liverpool-pep-guardiola-man-city/bltf684b98e5d8015a8" target="_blank">leapfrogged Manchester City and Liverpool</a> to go into pole position in the Premier League. However, they could be knocked off of the top of the table depending on the result when Pep Guardiola's team visit Anfield <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-man-city-jealous-jurgen-klopp-liverpool-positive-press/bltdde033de97364422" target="_blank">in a crucial clash on Sunday</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Whether or not they remain top of the table after Sunday is out of the Gunners' hands. Instead, Mikel Arteta's team will turn their attention to their Champions League last-16 tie against Porto in midweek. Arsenal head into the game needing a win, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-porto-gabriel-martinelli-bukayo-saka/blt1358c4a5970bb1c4" target="_blank">having lost 1-0 in the first-leg in Portugal</a>.
