Hightlights: Arsenal vs Bournemouth – All goals and attempts

After the huge Arsenal penalty debate during the 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Emirates Stadium, Kai Havertz had something to say about it. Pep Guardiola’s team played Wolves later that day, so the Gunners had a chance to get four points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the EPL table.

The home team had a lot of chances in the first half, but they couldn’t score until just before halftime, when they were given a penalty. Havertz moved into the box after a great pass over the back line, but Mark Travers was called for fouling him as he came in.

After seeing several replays, it appeared that Havertz made the first touch, but VAR didn’t see it as a clear mistake, so the penalty stood. Bukayo Saka calmly scored from 12 yards to put Arsenal ahead.

The Cherries tried to get back into the game in the second half, which made Arsenal nervous. However, Leandro Trossard doubled his team’s lead, which calmed them down. After that, Declan Rice scored a late third goal to make Arsenal’s goal difference even better.

It’s clear that Arsenal won the game, but things could have gone very differently if that penalty hadn’t been called. Following the game, experts and fans have shared their thoughts on the decision. Now, Havertz, who was part in the controversial event, has shared his thoughts.

“I haven’t seen the replay, but I think he touches me,” the German player told TNT Sport. “I felt it hit me and fell down.” For me, it’s a fine. “You touched me,” I told the goalie. I think he got it on the field.” After the game, Arteta was asked what he thought about a number of things that happened during it.
