Kill me now !
Arsenal cheating their way to a pen. Havertz left a leg in on the keeper.
Saka scores it.
Saka scores it.
Story of the season.
How can they give that as a pen
It will go down as “not a clear and obvious error” to overturn.
Wouldn't happen in the snooker.
The VAR is an evertonian 
That old piece of bullshit
It's a bit like Jota vs Newcastle.
I think it's both a pen and a dive at the same time. Left a trailing leg there for the GK to make contact with. The GK obliged.
Now I remember the outcry from pundits when Jota won that pen. I doubt there will be the same noise for Havertz.
Of course there won’t be. The half time pundits were all “well if he leaves his leg out there he’s going to make Harertz make contact”
I thought that Jota's was much more of a penalty than today's.
Elliott did win one by letting a leg trail in a game recently but even that was less obvious than today's
Yep.
Jota was actually running at a pace which meant that weak contact could conceivably bring him down. Havertz was not.
I think the controversy over Jota's penalty was that he took a step after being touched by the keeper.
There was no question that he initiated the contact like Havretz did today
The key to winning a pen is never to stumble. You need to fall flat on your face the second you feel a gentle touch.
Look at kulusevski last weekend. He stumbled on and nothing was given.
Strictly speaking that's not true.
I'm sure he got praised for "staying on his feet"
The sucker
