Gary Neville labelled a Kai Havertz challenge “stupid” as Arsenal lost 1-0 to Newcastle United before later backtracking after three Magpies players ended up in the book.
Neville picked up on the change of atmosphere in the stadium and questioned Havertz’s decison to make the challenge, he said on“I mean, Arsenal have got pretty decent control of the game, with and without the ball. The last thing you want to do is poke the bear. Neville backtracked when seeing the Newcastle players had been booked: “So out of that challenge he’s done pretty well Kai Havertz actually! He’s got three Newcastle players booked! That’s a good tactic! I take it all back!”
“I just think it’s so unnecessary, it’s just such an obvious arm or elbow in the head for no reason – other than the fact he wants to give someone a whack.
