Arsenal were not awarded a penalty against Hull City in the Premier League after the decision to penalise a foul on Kai Havertz was overturned because he was in an offside position. The decision came in the first half, which ended goalless.
Havertz went down in the penalty area after Noble Mendy pulled his shirt as he moved to meet a cross from the left sent in by Christos Tzolis. After checking the pitchside monitor, referee Farai Hallam explained that a foul had occurred, but that offside came first, so a free kick was awarded to Hull City.
Arsenal players and members of the coaching staff protested the decision, while Mikel Arteta voiced his objections to the fourth official near the end of the first half.
