Bournemouth's Harry Arter Saved A Goal By Yelling At Watford's Nathaniel Chalobah

Watford beat Bournemouth 2-0 on Saturday because Watford are better than most of us expected and Bournemouth are still bad. The Cherries can lay claim to the best play of the match, though, in Harry Arter's goal-saving shout at Nathaniel Chalobah.

Arter clearly yells "leave" or some variant, causing Chalobah to think one of his teammates is behind him and ready to smach the ball into the goal, which Chalobah himself looked about to do. Instead, Arter takes the ball and goes the other way.

Technically, that sort of behavior is not allowed. Watford should have been awarded an indirect free kick in the box and Arter given a yellow card, but tricking the referee is all part of the game. Arter wins this round, except for the fact that his team lost and Chalobah's team won.
