ARSENAL fans reacted furiously as the club’s live stream of their first pre-season friendly CRASHED.
Viewers blasted the “joke” service as they got a “500 internal server error message” after paying £6.99 to see Kai Havertz’s debut against Nurnberg in Germany.
The warm-up match, which kicked off at 6pm on Thursday, was advertised as available on Arsenal’s official website if supporters in the UK coughed up for a Match Pass.
In contrast, anyone watching in Germany could see it for free via Nurnberg’s YouTube channel.
One frustrated Arsenal fan posted the error sign along with his verdict: “Good start.”
Another wrote: “Stream down…paid to watch this and nothing is working. Even their website is down. @Arsenal how do I request a refund? This is a joke!”

Those fans regained their streams in time to see Jorginho’s ridiculous 30-yard own-goal.
Ex-Chelsea attacker Havertz began on the bench for a powerful-looking Gunners’ side.
Seven regular starters from the team who finished runners-up in the Premier League last term were included, plus four other senior players.
