​​During Chelsea’s 1-1 draw against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, former Blues forward Kai Havertz appeared to gesture for Chelsea fans to “shut up” after scoring a goal that was subsequently ruled offside.​​ ​​

The incident occurred in the first half when Havertz, who transferred to Arsenal in the summer of 2023, found the net only to have his effort disallowed for offside, much to the delight of the home supporters.​​

​​Havertz’s reaction has sparked controversy among Chelsea fans, who feel disrespected by a player who was instrumental in their 2021 Champions League triumph.​​ ​​

The German international’s move to a direct rival and his subsequent actions on the pitch have left many supporters questioning his respect for the club that provided him with a platform to achieve significant success.​​

​​The match concluded with a 1-1 draw, featuring goals from Gabriel Martinelli for Arsenal and Pedro Neto for Chelsea.​​ ​​While the result keeps Chelsea in third place in the Premier League standings, the focus has shifted to Havertz’s conduct and its implications for his relationship with his former club’s fanbase.​​

​​This incident adds to the growing list of tensions between Havertz and Chelsea supporters since his departure.​​
