Kai Havertz squared off against Emiliano Martinez in a dramatic ending to Arsenal's 1-0 defeat by Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
Temperes flared as Arsenal had a last-gasp equaliser ruled out by VAR, after the German midfielder had appeared to handle the ball inside the six yard box, with Eddie Nketiah bundling the ball into the back of the net.
The game went on and Arsenal pushed to pull a late goal back, with a long ball coming in to the Villa penalty area. Martinez jumped to claim the catch, before the Argentine was nudged by Havertz, subsequently falling to the floor.
The Arsenal man was not amused by Martinez's actions to slow the game down, stepping towards the 2023 Yashin Trophy winner, before going head-to-head with him in a heated moment.
Players gathered around them to break up the stand-off, with Pau Torres pushing Havertz away from Martinez.
Despite that, Arsenal were unable to get a goal back, with Unai Emery's side now having beaten the Premier League champions and the former league leaders in the space of three days.
John McGinn's first-half goal proved the difference, with Villa Park erupting with elation at full-time.
The result means Villa are now unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions, having also beaten Tottenham and Fulham.

Last season, Arsenal led for 248 days, this time around just 8, but they made much more noise.

This is the time to see ET Hang end the era of Pep-Klopp dominance but it seems Man United has given him too much salaries to concentrate. Onana busy calming down the team to a mid table finishing, Rashford concentrating on street clubing than performing at his real club, Hojlund bought for bench and future plans, Antony ghosting around since he is no longer allowed to spin roll his childish style, 🕷️🕸️ Wan Bisakka busy tackling opponents from his cubicle, Maguire dreaming of the arm band return instead of trophy, Mason mount enjoying chicken Rice at the hospital bed with no signs of playing again this season, Jadon Sancho training like a beast to get a new club. Before Ten Hag ends an era, his era is more likely to end at the helm. Man Utd needs to get relegated to get refreshed for competition when they return. How can Aston Villa show more desire for trophy, why then spend more money. Just sell off the whole club and rename it a business center.
