Brentford mock Arsenal star in brutal TikTok video after controversial moment in Premier League clash

Brentford mock Arsenal star in brutal TikTok video after controversial moment in Premier League clash

Kai Havertz went to ground very easily against the Bees at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal kept up their momentum in the Premier League title race with a late win against Brentford - but the Bees took to social media to take aim at one diving Gunners star.

The Gunners are vying with Manchester City and Liverpool for the top flight crown this season in a three-horse race for the title.

With City and Liverpool meeting today at Anfield and one side guaranteed to drop points, if not both, Mikel Arteta's outfit have ensured they have done their bit this weekend to ensure they remain well in the mix for the title, having been runners-up last season.

Declan Rice - a summer signing from West Ham United - put Arsenal in front at the Emirates Stadium inside the opening 20 minutes.

But the Gunners were pegged back in first half injury time when Yoane Wissa took advantage of a big error by Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale - restored to the starting team in place of the ineligible David Raya, who is on loan from Brentford - to put the Bees back of level terms.

It looked like the spoils were going to be shared between the two sides, but another Arsenal summer signing in the form of Kai Havertz nodded home Ben White's cross for what proved to be the winner.

However, the Bees had a good argument for Havertz not being on the pitch.

The German international was already on a yellow card when he went down in the box as he sought a penalty - but there appeared to be no contact whatsoever from Brentford defender Nathan Collins and looked very much to be an act of simulation.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank made it clear after the game that he felt Havertz ought to have been given his marching orders and not been on the pitch therefore to score the vital winner.

He told Sky Sports: "I actually don’t think Havertz should be on the pitch when he scored. It was a clear dive.

"Maybe it is difficult for the ref but the linesman should have seen it."

And the Bees have taken to social media to poke fun at Havertz, showing a Tik Tok video of the incident where the attacker goes down with seemingly no contact, accompanying the footage with spooky music.

They might have lost the game, but Brentford have certainly won the argument with this particular incident.
