What Lisandro Martinez and Manuel Ugarte did to Kai Havertz after penalty miss in Arsenal vs Man United
Kai Havertz endured a nightmarish afternoon in the FA Cup clash between Arsenal and Manchester United on Sunday.
The Arsenal No.29 missed two golden opportunities in normal time and completed just 18 passes across the entire 120 minutes – before also missing his penalty in the shootout to send Manchester United into the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Furthermore, the Germany international also infuriated several Manchester United players after appearing to dive under minimal contact from Harry Maguire – convincing Andy Madley to award a penalty.
Manuel Ugarte even seemed to headbutt Havertz in the ruckus before Martin Odegaard stepped up – with the Uruguay international and Lisandro Martinez not letting Kai Havertz off even after Altay Bayindir denied the Norwegian from 12 yards.
Lisandro Martinez and Manuel Ugarte caught on camera shoving Kai Havertz
As Martin Keown famously did after that missed penalty from Ruud v꧃an Nistelrooy, the ꦰManchester United duo opted to celebrate Bayindir’s save by rubbing it right in the German’s face.
As you can see, footage captured by a fan inside the Emirates Stadium shows the South American duo shoving Havertz after the Turkey international denie♉d Odeg♕aard, which caused the Arsenal No.29 to retaliate by pushing them back.
Clearly, Ugarte and Martinez were furious with Havertz after feeling he had successfully deceived Madley – which we also believe he did – but Bayindir, who Mikel Arteta praised, was fortunately on hand to serve up justice.
Arsenal vs Manchester United proved Mikel Arteta cannot rely on Kai Havertz to be his No.9
It was a well documented fact that Arteta signed Havertz to play as an advanced mid🎃fielder.
The 25-year-old seemed to love that No.8 role, saying: “I really enjoy it, to play that 🅷position. I am more on the ball, more integrated in the game. I am really enjoying it.”
However – due to circumstance♒ – Havertz has ended up playing as tไhe No.9 at Arsenal.
The man born in Aachen has a r✱espectable 12 goals in 27 appearances this season from that position, although he proved against Manchester United that he lacks the ruthlessness Arsenal need in front of goal if they are to win anything this season.
