Former Tottenham Hotspur wideman Jamie O’Hara has claimed that he would have sent Kai Havertz off for his "stupid" dive in Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final showdown with Crystal Palace. The German playmaker was selected to start the clash at Wembley Stadium by Thomas Tuchel, with the Blues boss hopeful that the former Bayer Leverkusen man would represent an inspirational figure for his side once more.
Havertz was certainly involved in one of the flashpoints of the first-half but not from a positive viewpoint. Attempting to earn the advantage for his side, the German skipped past former Blues’ defender Marc Guehi and went down in a heap.
With Chelsea supporters appealing for a penalty, referee Anthony Taylor elected to book Havertz for a dive - replays confirming that he wasn’t touched by the Palace defender.
