    Kai Havertz awkwardly made to watch controversial Arsenal penalty on live TV after Bournemouth boss claims he ‘dived’

    ARSENAL star Kai Havertz was awkwardly made to watch the controversial penalty he won against Bournemouth live on TV.Cherries boss Andoni Iraola accused Havertz of diving in the Gunners’ 3-0 win on Saturday.Kai Havertz was forced to watch a live replay of his penalty ‘dive’ against BournemouthCredit: X formerlyTwitter / @footballontntHavertz was accused of cheating as Arsenal went on to win 3-0Credit: GettyBournemouth goalie Mark Travers made contact with the German as he ran through on goal just before half-time.Havertz fell to the ground and was immediately awarded a penalty.But viewers were quick to accuse Havertz of leaving his trailing foot in and playing for the contact.Bukayo Saka put away the resulting spot-kick as Arsenal cemented the win with further goals from Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut Iraola was left fuming at full-time as he insisted that Havertz had suckered the referee.He said: “The refereeing decisions I don’t agree with.“For me, Kai Havertz is the one trying to find the contact (that isn’t there). At the last moment he finds the contact and he’s not going to goal to score a goal.“I think with the VAR, probably if you asked the person on the VAR they’d say, ‘It’s not a penalty’. Probably they are thinking, ‘There is contact, so I can’t overturn it’.”Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSHavertz initiated the contact… Arsenal were lucky to get penalty, says HalseyBy Mark Halsey
    BOURNEMOUTH were unlucky after two big decisions went against them at Arsenal.
    Cherries boss Andoni Iraola was incensed by the first-half penalty awarded to the Gunners as well as Antoine Semenyo’s goal being ruled out by VAR Peter Bankes.
    For Bukayo Saka’s spot-kick, visiting keeper Mark Travers ran the risk by sticking his leg out but Kai Havertz initiated the contact and referee David Coote pointed to the spot.
    From Coote’s angle, it looked like a penalty and it was not a clear and obvious error so VAR did not get involved. Had Coote not given the spot-kick, VAR would not have intervened to overrule it.
    Bournemouth’s disallowed goal was a subjective decision but I didn’t think there was enough contact by Dominic Solanke on Arsenal keeper David Raya in the build-up to rule out Semenyo’s strike.
    I’ve seen goals given when there has been more contact than Solanke on Raya this season.
    In fact, there was even more contact from William Saliba on Philip Billing seconds before and the visitors could have had a penalty.
    Ryan Christie was lucky to escape a red card for serious foul play on Bukayo Saka in the first half. The Cherries midfielder was high and endangered the safety of Arsenal winger Saka. I was surprised VAR Bankes did not recommend a review for Coote.

    As he gave a post-match interview to TNT Sports, Havertz was asked to comment on the penalty incident.And as he declared he had not seen the replay, slow-motion footage of the moment appeared on the screen in front of him.Arsenal star Leandro Trossard leaves Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway ‘shaking’ with excitement after live TV messageHavertz said: “I haven’t seen the replay… but I think he touches me.”As the replay was shown on screen, pundit Joe Cole commented: “You see it closely from this angle, he commits and there, the contact, I think it’s a pen. “You’re a clever player, he’s left himself exposed.”Havertz added: “I felt the contact and went down, that’s why. For me it’s a penalty and I said to the goalie as well ‘you touched me’.I felt the contact and went down, that’s why.Kai Havertz“I think he understood on the pitch as well so maybe it’s not that clear but I think you can give it for sure.”Fans appeared to agree with Iraola’s verdict that it was a dive.One said: “Glad he managed to stay on his feet for the whole of the interview.”Another declared: “Dangled and waited.”READ MORE SUN STORIESOne noted: “Geezer took a massive dive.”Another added: “Nice dive bro.”Meet the Arsenal Wags from Strictly star to a flight attendant

    Piers Morgan and Ian Wright say Arsenal ‘got away with it’ as VAR slammed for controversial decisions vs Bournemouth

    ARSENAL legend Ian Wright and Gooner Piers Morgan both admitted they “got away with it” against Bournemouth as VAR dominated again.The Gunners restored their four-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 3-0 victory.Bournemouth had a goal ruled out due to Dominic Solanke’s challenge on David RayaCredit: GettyIt was eventually ruled out after a lengthy VAR checkCredit: TNT SportsFans were fuming over the decision to give Arsenal a penalty after this foul on HavertzCredit: GettyIan Wright claims that he felt it was never a penaltyCredit: GettyBukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice all got on the scoresheet to pile the pressure on second-placed Man City ahead of their clash with Wolves.However, the main talking point after the lunchtime game at the Emirates was the much-maligned VAR.And it has led to more calls for the technology to be scrapped.Both teams were on the receiving end of controversial decisions during the game as Cherries ace Ryan Christie escaped a red card for a high tackle while his side also had a goal ruled out in the second half.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLSaka and Trossard had already fired Arsenal into a two-goal lead when Antoine Semenyo looked to have got the visitors back into it after bundling home the rebound after Christie’s effort hit the woodwork.But the celebrations were soon cut short as Dominic Solanke was ruled to have fouled goalkeeper David Raya by backing into him during the build-up upon a VAR check.Solanke moved into Raya’s path as the loose ball dropped back into the area as the stopper weakly tried to punch it away, with the ref blowing despite contact being minimal.Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola and his coaching staff were furious after watching a replay but, after a lengthy delay of several minutes, the officials at Stockley Park did not advise the ref to check his pitchside monitor.Most read in FootballI played with Ian Wright at Arsenal for six years… he used to go ballistic and fight rival players in changing rooms-That was after the away side believed they should have received a penalty moments earlier when Philip Billing was pulled back by William Saliba.However, VAR failed to intervene this time, placing the team working on the technology under more scrutiny.And it even led to TalkTV host and Arsenal fan Piers calling for it to be axed completely.He wrote on X: “VAR is so bad that even when Arsenal get a verdict our way (like just now), I still hate the bloody thing for the way it sucks all the joy out of the game.”Meanwhile, former Gunners striker Wright admitted VAR had robbed Bournemouth.He wrote: “Didn’t think it was a penalty.

    Eric Dier left with blood pouring out of his head after blocking shot with his FACE after Bayern fans love it

Man is a professional.”READ MORE IN FOOTBALLA third added: “Bro is cut from a different cloth.”While another stunned watcher wrote: “What a comeback.

Arsenal fans trolled over ‘terrifying hostility’ as video of Harry Kane and Eric Dier arriving at Emirates emerges Bayern then evened the scoreline in the 37th minute through Harry Kane’s strike from a spot-kick, after Serge Gnabry was brought down inside the penalty box.The strike against Stuttgart was Kane’s 36th league goal of the season and 44th overall. The England captain is now six goals away from breaking Robert Lewandowski’s Bundesliga record.But Bayern failed to secure a win as two late goals from Jeong Woo-Yeng and Silas Katompa Mvumpa secured the home side all three points.Now Stuttgart sit just two points behind Bayern with only two games to go in the season.That means Thomas Tuchel’s side – who have already lost their 11-year Bundesliga winning streak to Bayer Leverkusen – may even end up finishing third this term.But the German giants’ season could still end in glory as they take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final clash.This one will have stung Kane the most… what’s the German for schadenfreude?, says Dave KiddBy Dave Kidd
    OF all the trophies Harry Kane has missed out on, the Bundesliga will have stung the most.
    This was supposed to have been a dead cert. This was nailed-on.
    Bayern Munich had won 11 successive Bundesliga titles, so when the England captain signed for the great Bavarian powerhouse last summer, we all said: “Well, at least he’ll finally win something.”
    Yet on Sunday evening, there were Bayer Leverkusen — known in Germany as ‘Neverkusen’ because they hadn’t previously won the league thanks to several late implosions — cavorting around, 16 points clear, unbeaten in all competitions and confirmed as champions with five games to spare.
    And so the greatest trophy curse in footballing history continues.
    And this one really is freakish because Leverkusen’s story is almost as extraordinary as Leicester City’s miracle title in 2015-16 — the season when Kane won his first Premier League Golden Boot and Tottenham ended up ‘third in a two-horse race’ behind Arsenal.
    Kane is always the runner-up, always the nearly man, always the fall guy, too often a figure of fun for those taking pleasure in the misfortune of others.
    Does anyone know the German word for schadenfreude…?
