Footage reveals what Harry Maguire said to Kai Havertz to spark Arsenal vs Manchester United melee | OneFootball

The Gunners’ striker appeared to go down very easily under a challenge from the Man Utd defender

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.

A deflected Gabriel Magalhaes effort brought about Arsenal's equaliser almost immediately and then came the game's flashpoint.

The Gunners were handed the chance to take the lead from the penalty spot after Maguire was penalised for what appeared to be minimal contact on Havertz in the box.

Clearly incensed by the decision and with Havertz for going to ground far too easily, television replays caught the United defender shouting ‘you cheating s**thouse’ towards the German international.

The incident sparked a melee between both sets of players and Manuel Ugarte could now be in hot water from the Football Association for his headbutt on Havertz.

Though the hosts couldn't take full advantage of the penalty as Martin Odegaard's effort was brilliantly saved by United's backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

Bayindir then proved to be the Red Devils' hero in the shootout as he saved Havertz's effort to ensure the FA Cup holders claimed a 5-3 win to set up a fourth round tie at home to Ruud van Nisterlooy's Leicester City.
