Erling Haaland, the talented footballer from Norway, has found himself in the spotlight yet again after being involved in a series of incidents during Manchester City's intense match against Arsenal on Sunday. Despite throwing the ball at Gabriel Magalhaes' head, Haaland has managed to avoid any punishment from the Football Association.
The incident occurred right after John Stones' dramatic equaliser in the 98th minute. Haaland, clearly frustrated, picked up the ball and launched it at Gabriel's head. The clip of this incident quickly went viral on social media, causing anger among Arsenal fans. However, it has now been revealed that Haaland will not be facing any consequences for his actions.
This is because the incident was reviewed by VAR official John Brooks during the game, who determined that it was not a violent act and did not warrant a red card. Unfortunately, the VAR cannot intervene to recommend a yellow card, and since Haaland did not receive any on-field punishment, he has managed to escape a retrospective ban.
But that wasn't the only instance of Haaland's bad behavior. He was also heard telling Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to "stay humble" and calling Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus a "f*****g clown." He even went as far as to ask Gunners star Myles Lewis-Skelly, "Who the f**k are you?"
Meanwhile, Haaland's teammate Bernando Silva has criticized Arsenal for their second-half time-wasting tactics and took a dig at their lack of trophies. "The difference between Arsenal and Liverpool? I don't know," Silva stated in an interview with TNT Sports. "Maybe because Liverpool have already won a Premier League, and Arsenal haven't. Liverpool has also won a Champions League, something Arsenal hasn't achieved yet. Liverpool always comes to play against us face-to-face, trying to win the game."
Silva also expressed his frustration with the referee's allowance of time-wasting tactics by Arsenal. He believes that despite the discussions and promises made by the FA at the beginning of each season, nothing is being done to address this issue. "The thing that bothers me the most is having a lot of meetings with the FA at the beginning of each season. They tell us they will control this kind of situation and stop them, but in the end, nothing happens," Silva lamented.
As this incident continues to stir up controversy, we can only hope that the FA takes necessary actions to address the issue of time-wasting in football matches. Until then, Haaland and his teammates will have to focus on their upcoming matches and leave this incident behind them.
