KAI HAVERTZ was brilliantly skinned by Cristian Romero during Arsenal's friendly defeat to Tottenham.
This browser does not support the video element.
But it was Djed Spence that ended up feeling the brunt of the incident.
Tottenham beat their fierce rivals 1-0 in Hong Kong courtesy of Pape Matar Sarr's sensational 45-yard strike at the new Kai Tak stadium.
During the first half, Romero embarrassed Arsenal forward Havertz.
Picking up the ball virtually on his own byline, the Argentine was closed down by his German opponent.
Calmness personified, Romero brilliantly skipped past Havertz.
As the defender waltzed away from the challenge, Havertz went sliding into unfortunate bystander Spence.
The 26-year-old caught the Spurs full-back's knee, but no action was taken by the referee.
After a few moments down on the turf, Spence was able to gingerly rise to his feet and continue.
The former Nottingham Forest star was one of several standout performers on the night, keeping Bukayo Saka and then Max Dowman very quiet for the Gunners.
Tottenham struck the post three times during the first half, via corners by Pedro Porro and Mohammed Kudus, then an effort by Wilson Odobert.
Sarr eventually broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time, brilliantly lobbing stranded goalkeeper David Raya after dispossessing Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Arsenal had plenty of the ball during the second half of the encounter.
But even after a raft of Spurs substitutions, which included both Romero and Micky van de Ven going off, Mikel Arteta's side were unable to break through.
After the game, Tottenham boss Thomas Frank told the club's media team: "A 1-0 score against Arsenal is an absolutely beautiful score!
"Yes, it is a friendly, but it’s also a very competitive match. I said before the game that games against Arsenal are never ‘friendly’. It means everything.
"I have to give respect to both teams for their competitiveness in the game. It was very competitive.
"I was extremely happy with our first half, that first half was completely even.
"In many ways I loved the way the team performed, and throughout the game the defensive structure was top."
Tottenham will return to action on Sunday when they take on Newcastle in South Korea, while Arsenal will be back in London for a clash with Villarreal next Wednesday.

i see Max is even a complete threat and yet they will pick Odegaard over Nwaneri and Merino just to say it's Experience...

You won't win a trophy with Odegaard prioritized on that position of attacking midfield,which he's lacking excellent flexibility towards the goal...prioritize Nwaneri instead or play Merino if Eze can't be afforded...Havert csn get his natural position back...Gyokeres will be less productive justblike Haaland was bringing nothing when KDB was injured...Odegaard is too central and lacking flexibility towards the goal...just multiple touches and turnarounds which is totally a waste of time,no counter attacking mentality...guess why dependent winger Martinelli is dead on pitch... it's because AM is not rectified and is the one needed to be rectified and you win Arsenal a trophy...

It was a cheat, Lewis Shelly was clipped from behind so goal should d have been disallowed. I hope bad refereeing decisions are not chasing Arsenal up to this season.

and those who are making noise that we lost would have done same or worst had arsenal won the match by shouting it's just a friendly in order to discredit us. Give us a break loosers.

God bless you but unfortunately today is the last day for any club to buy eze according to the clause in his contract. only miracle can cause his departure from the eagles as the coach pleaded with the club not to sell their prized talisman citing it will affect both their epl and ucl campaigns.
