On a tense Sunday afternoon, Erling Haaland was not afraid to stir up some drama. The Manchester City striker had a heated exchange with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after their match ended in a 2-2 draw. Despite the Gunners thinking they had secured a spot at the top of the Premier League table, a last-minute goal by John Stones denied them the victory.
As the players gathered on the pitch after the match, Haaland made sure to get a dig in at Arteta. Patting the Spaniard on the back, the Norwegian striker told him to "stay humble." Arteta, clearly not pleased with the comment, turned and walked away. Haaland then found himself in a shouting match with City teammate Gabriel Jesus, who confronted him about his words to Arteta.
But Haaland was not interested in making peace. He dismissed Jesus, saying he wasn't talking to him and called him a "clown." The confrontation was eventually diffused by teammates Jack Grealish and Ben White. This was just one of the many dramatic moments for Haaland in this game, as he also scored his 100th goal for City and playfully bounced the ball off Gabriel's head during the celebration of Stones' equalizer.
After the match, City midfielder Bernardo Silva added fuel to the fire by criticizing Arsenal's style of play. He claimed that they were not there to play football, but rather to push the limits and take advantage of the referee's decisions. Despite not being able to secure the win, Silva was happy with the way his team approached the game, always trying to win and play their best.
This rivalry between City and Arsenal continued to heat up, with both teams not holding back on the field. As tensions rose, Haaland found himself in another confrontation, this time with 17-year-old Arsenal substitute Myles Lewis-Skelly. It was clear that the striker was not in the mood to back down.
The drama didn't end there, as Haaland's teammate, Gabriel Jesus, also found himself in the spotlight. It was reported that he had a heated exchange with Haaland during the match, with the City striker questioning his identity. The game may have ended in a draw, but the tension between these two teams was far from over.
