'He's an embarrassment' – Chelsea star Kai Havertz slammed for outrageous dive to win penalty against Crystal Palace
17th April 2022

FOOTY fans branded Kai Havertz an 'embarrassment' after he was booked for diving against Crystal Palace.

The German led the line for Chelsea in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley.


But with half-time approaching the scores tied at 0-0, Havertz found himself at the centre of controversy in Palace's box.

The versatile forward made a burst into the Eagles' area before Marc Guehi came in to defend.

Havertz went flying as cries went up from Chelsea teammates for a penalty.

However, referee Anthony Taylor saw things completely differently as Guehi protested his innocence.

Taylor quickly pointed in the direction of Havertz, signalling for a decision in Palace’s favour.

Havertz put on a puzzled expression as Taylor then produced a yellow card.

But the Chelsea ace did little to argue against the booking, with replays showing there had indeed been zero contact made by Guehi.

And supporters were quick to condemn Havertz’s dive on social media.

One said: “Havertz is an embarrassment.”

Another wrote: “Havertz that should be a red card, how dare you.”

One tweeted: “Havertz was definitely looking for that one, good refereeing.”

Another added: “Can’t even argue against that.”

Indeed, former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara was adamant Havertz should have been sent off.

He said: “It’s a shocking dive. Absolutely no place for it in the game.

“That for me is such bad simulation. It’s actually stupid from him.

“Shocking from him. I hate to see it in the game.

“Get it out as quickly as possible. I would have sent him off.”

However, Havertz has found a huge fan in Manchester United legend Roy Keane.

The Irishman said: "It looks like he's got a bit of arrogance, and he does back it up.

"But it took him a while to adapt to the English game. Again, he's a talented boy, a big presence."
