Brentford's Nathan Collins calls Arsenal star a 'cheat' in furious tunnel row with referee | SBG9B5P | 2024-03-12 16:08:01
Brentford's players have been concerned in a heated tunnel row after their defeat to Arsenal and confronted referee Rob Jones over his failure to send off Kai Havertz, in line with stories.
The Gunners dominated Saturday evening's match and took an early lead by way of Declan Rice, though they have been pegged back on the stroke of half-time when Yoane Wissa charged down a dithering Aaron Ramsdale.
Brentford twice went near scoring in the second half however it was Arsenal who came out on prime, with Havertz nodding in Ben White's cross in the 86th minute to spark wild scenes of celebration.
The visitors have been livid, though, having felt that Havertz should not have been on the pitch following a dive in the 65th minute.
Arsenal's profitable goalscorer had already been on a yellow card when he dropped to the floor inside the box despite there being no contact from nearest defender Nathan Collins, with referee Jones dismissing Arsenal's optimistic pleas for a penalty but not punishing Havertz for a dive either.
Brentford have been clearly sad on the pitch and pleaded with Jones to point out a second yellow, and their frustrations boiled over at full-time after Havertz's decisive, late impression.
In response to the Mirror, Brentford's gamers have been seething as they left the Emirates pitch and made their approach down the tunnel and let Jones know in no unsure terms.
Collins was stated to be livid with Havertz amid the row that erupted, with gamers and training employees 'dropping their tempers' as they headed to the dressing room.
The Republic of Ireland defender was at the coronary heart of the row and was reportedly heard shouting 'f***ing disgrace' and 'cheat' in the tunnel.
Referee Jones stopped near the highest of the tunnel and spoke to the sad Brentford gamers, who have been shouting and swearing, but didn't embrace the incident in his match report – and, as such, no action will probably be taken by the Soccer Affiliation.

Although Brentford's gamers have been visibly livid, it never went past a number of shouting and accusations and the west London club played down the episode.
The officials have been, nevertheless, ultimately escorted to their dressing rooms by safety employees before issues slowly calmed down.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank stated he might understand why his players have been so put out afterwards, saying: 'The efficiency was spot on. Much more impressive in the event you bear in mind Arsenal's type, our type, our damage state of affairs.
'I truly don't assume Havertz must be on the pitch when he scored. It was a transparent dive. Perhaps it's troublesome for the ref but the linesman should have seen it.'
