Thomas Frank believes Arsenal match-winner Kai Havertz should have been sent off for diving before scoring the winning goal against his Brentford side.
Havertz settled the Gunners' game against Brentford with a 86th-minute header to send his side top of the Premier League table - but 20 minutes earlier was facing accusations of diving after going down under Nathan Collins' challenge. The German attacker was already on a booking and Brentford players Ivan Toney and Vitaly Janelt protested at referee Rob Jones that Havertz should have been handed a red card - with manager Frank strongly believing that a sending off was the right decision.
'The referee is not in a great position to see this so unless he actually gives the yellow card then VAR can't intervene anyway, but he is lucky. There's no contact at all and he is looking to gain an advantage there. 'He's got to be sure. He's got a really good position but if he's not sure then he can't give it.' Sky Sports' Karen Carney on the second incident: 'Havertz is looking for it and the contact is after that.
