Bournemouth keeper Travers discusses Havertz penalty

Bournemouth shot stopper Mark Travers echoed the despair of many regarding a decision that went against his team.

The Cherries were taking on Arsenal in the Premier League, with the Gunners earning a penalty that appeared fortuitous.

Replays showed Kai Havertz engineer contact to make it appear as tough Travers had tripped him.

After the 3-0 loss, Travers said: It was a massive game for Arsenal, they are trying to win the league and football's a game of opinions - I'm sure there will be loads of them flying around on social media about a couple of decisions here.

From a goalkeeper's perspective, I was just trying to come out and make a save - I wasn't thinking about Havertz dangling out a leg, I was just trying to make myself big.

Obviously he touches it past me and dangles his trailing foot there. The ref's decision is frustrating but there's nothing I can do about it now.

I don't know what else I'm supposed to do - just stand there so he can hit it first time so it goes in? I know once the ref's made the decision it's difficult to reverse it, but it just felt like he's left a trailing leg in to catch my foot.

My leg doesn't come off the ground - I've just tried to stay low, make myself big and it looks a bit unnatural to leave your foot that low when you are trying to run forwards.

My instinct was only to make a save, not to take Havertz down. It's tough, but I don't want to say too much and get myself in trouble."
