In a thrilling match at the Emirates Stadium, Kai Havertz emerged as the hero for Arsenal with a late header that secured their victory over Brentford. However, Brentford manager Thomas Frank was left fuming at the decision that allowed Havertz to escape a potential red card earlier in the game.
The Bees had put up a strong fight, with Yoane Wissa capitalizing on a mistake by Aaron Ramsdale to equalize Declan Rice's opener. But Havertz's goal in the dying minutes of the game gave Arsenal the win, at least temporarily sending them to the top of the table before Liverpool and Manchester City's clash on Sunday.
Despite the disappointment of the defeat, Frank couldn't help but feel proud of his team's performance. He praised their defensive tactics, limiting Arsenal's prolific attack to just one goal. However, he couldn't help but express his frustration at what he believed was a lucky break for Havertz, who he felt should have been sent off for a second yellow card.
Speaking to the BBC, Frank elaborated on his thoughts, saying that the players were angry about the penalty shout with Havertz, as they believed it was a clear dive. He also pointed out that the linesman should have seen it and made the right call.
Meanwhile, Havertz's goal was not just a game-changer for Arsenal, but also a personal milestone for the player. Having never managed to score in four consecutive games during his time at Chelsea, the Germany international was ecstatic to have played a crucial role in a huge win for his new team.
Looking ahead, Havertz highlighted the importance of these points for Arsenal and their focus on their own performance, rather than worrying about what other teams are doing. He also mentioned their upcoming competitions and hopes for a successful night.
Despite the late scare with Brentford's equalizer, Havertz was pleased with the team's mentality and their ability to bounce back from mistakes. He acknowledged that mistakes are a part of the game and that he has also made errors leading to goals in the past. But their strong mentality and determination from the start of the second half were evident in their ultimate victory.
