Erling Haaland, the young and talented striker, has found himself in the midst of criticism from Arsenal fans recently. However, amidst all the negativity, he has also received immense support and appreciation from Manchester City and their fans. Haaland expressed his gratitude towards the club and its fans for standing by him during the past couple of weeks, which have been quite challenging for him.
The backlash from Arsenal fans began after Haaland's actions during last month's match against Manchester City. In a tense and heated game, Haaland threw the ball at Gabriel's head after City's injury-time equaliser. This incident sparked outrage among the Arsenal fan base and even led to Haaland being called a "coward" by former Arsenal player Ian Wright.
The game itself was a thrilling one, with Arsenal putting up a strong fight against the formidable Manchester City. The Gunners were on their way to securing a historic win with goals from Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori, after Haaland's early opener. However, it was John Stones' last-minute goal that shattered Arsenal's hopes and left them heartbroken.
Haaland's actions in the Arsenal box did not go unnoticed, as they were captured by Sky Sports cameras. But it was not until almost 24 hours later that Wright took to social media to express his disappointment. He stated that Haaland's "cowardly" move of throwing the ball at Gabriel while his back was turned bothered him the most. Wright also mentioned that he expected better from someone of Haaland's stature.
Fellow Arsenal legend Martin Keown also criticized Haaland, saying that he had become Arsenal's "personal enemy" after his controversial actions. Piers Morgan, a well-known Arsenal supporter, even went as far as calling Haaland a "nasty piece of work".
For two weeks, Haaland remained silent about the incident, but he finally addressed the criticism in his first Instagram post in almost a month. In the post, he thanked the club, the fans, and everyone else for their support during this difficult time. He also urged everyone to look forward and focus on what's next.
It is clear that this incident has caused a lot of tension and opinions among fans and players alike. However, it seems that Haaland is ready to move on and focus on his future with Manchester City. As the Premier League's top goalscorer, he has a bright career ahead of him, and hopefully, he will steer clear of any controversial actions in the future.
We will have to wait and see how this situation develops, but for now, Haaland has expressed his gratitude and is looking ahead to what's next. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
