Bournemouth are playing some rough football at the Emirates with both sides desperate for three points.
Arsenal have held up their own admirably but there were at least a couple of instances where the Cherries escaped punishment.
The first was a challenge on Bukayo Saka - it was a clear case of a studs-up direct tussle which undoubtedly hurt him.
A VAR check allowed play to continue as usual. As the game inches close to half-time, the same player brought down Kai Havertz.
Havertz received the ball from Martin Odegaard in a great piece of play, only for the Arsenal forward to be brought down while attempting to take a shot on goal.
Even though it disrupted Arsenal's attack, Bournemouth once again escaped without punishment.
💬 JadenAFC: "The same guy with the challenge on Saka just wiped out Havertz too now."
💬 markgoldbridge: "How is that not a red! didn't even get a yellow and game drop ball. Switch VAR the fuck off! It's a joke at this point."
💬 Dobbo: "Farsical that this isn’t a red, VAR might aswell not bother turning up anymore, what a joke."
