Mikel Arteta defended Kai Havertz and his Arsenal players after a wasteful FA Cup exit at the hands of Manchester United.

The déjà vu, however, was strong in this one. A year ago the great Ian Wright was memorably bemoaning the absence of a "killer" in this Arsenal side. Here was Havertz as Kendall Roy, the man who simply could not be trusted for the biggest moments. Too much of a tangle of limbs when his teammates need stillness and serenity.

Harry Maguire appeared to accuse Kai Havertz of being a ‘cheating s***house’ as Manchester United knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup at the third round stage on penalties.
