Kai Havertz is slammed on social media after DIVING and avoiding a second yellow card in Arsenal's victory against Brentford - but he won't mind after scoring the dramatic winner!

Kai Havertz has been criticised after seemingly diving and avoiding a red card during Arsenal's dramatic victory against Brentford on Saturday evening.

Goals from Declan Rice and Havertz propelled Mikel Arteta's side to the top of the Premier League, one point clear of Liverpool and two above Manchester City.

Havertz's winner came four minutes from time and sparked wild celebrations at the Emirates, although he was perhaps fortunate to dodge a dismissal earlier in the half.

The forward picked up his first caution after catching Kristoffer Ajer with an arm.
