Havertz was involved in a spot-kick moment monitored by VAR, and the refereeing decision stood, the spot-kick decision. Reports also note Havertz later avoided a red card after a bold tackle in the same window, fueling talk of consistency in VAR thresholds for challenges. Arsenal ruled Havertz out for the rest of the season due to a hamstring issue needing surgical repair, adding to ahead-of-schedule injuries in their forward line.
