Brentford's manager expressed his belief that Kai Havertz should have been sent off before scoring the winning goal in Arsenal's 2-1 victory at Emirates Stadium. Havertz's 86th-minute header secured the win in a contentious match that saw Declan Rice open the scoring. Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, standing in for the ineligible David Raya, gifted Yoane Wissa an equalizer in first-half stoppage time.
Havertz's winning goal came after he had been booked for an elbow on Kristoffer Ajer and went down under minimal contact from Nathan Collins, leading to a VAR check for a penalty. Despite the incidents, Havertz avoided further punishment, much to the frustration of Brentford's manager.
