Got to feel for Arsenal and Arteta. Playing with a "League 2" goalkeeper according to some on here.

How has he not booked Havertz? The most obvious dive ever. Players literally have nothing to lose by trying to con the ref. VAR actually encourages diving because if a player does dive and then the replays show that there was the slightest contact they have a good chance of being awarded a penalty.
