Arsenal fans explode at ‘corrupt’ Michael Oliver after ‘terrible’ call v Chelsea
Arsenal fans have been left fuming at referee Michael Oliver after his treatment of Kai Havertz during the clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Mikel Arteta’s side secured a 1-1 draw away from home after goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Pedro Neto, meaning they have now won just one of their last six.
However, it was the referee who attracted the attention of the travelling supporters when he booked Havertz for failing to leave the pitch to receive treatment.
The 25-year-old had blood gushing from his head and went down to receive treatment, before Oliver told him to leave the field and handed him a yellow card for not doing so promptly.
This left the Arsenal fans raging as they questioned how their player could be booked for having a head injury – an issue which usually sees the game stopped for treatment to take place.
Chants of “it’s all about you” could be heard from the away end as the supporters made their voices heard about the official’s performance.

Now, it was Oliver’s turn to be questioned by the Gunners, as many took to social media during the game to label him a “clown” and “a disgrace”.
