In a recent match between Manchester City and Arsenal, Piers Morgan, a well-known TV presenter and Arsenal fan, had some strong words for Erling Haaland, Manchester City's top goalscorer. After the game ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, Haaland caused controversy by throwing the ball at Gabriel's head, who had just scored a last-minute equalizer for Arsenal. He then immediately collided with Arsenal's Thomas Partey, leading to a heated exchange between players from both teams.
One of the players who approached Haaland was 17-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly, who had just made his debut for Arsenal. Despite only being on the pitch for a short time, Lewis-Skelly received a yellow card and was involved in the altercation with Haaland. The Norwegian striker appeared to dismiss him with a rude remark, and also exchanged words with Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta and former Man City player Gabriel Jesus.
Morgan, who was reacting to a clip of the incident, didn't hold back in his criticism of Haaland. He called him the "most arrogant player in the league" and accused him of belittling Lewis-Skelly, who was making his first appearance for Arsenal. He also called out Haaland for hurling the ball at the back of Gabriel's head in a cowardly manner.
Even Arsenal legend Ian Wright expressed his disappointment in Haaland's behavior, specifically calling out his actions towards Gabriel. He called it a "coward's move" and expected better from someone like Haaland.
Despite being down to ten men for most of the game, Arsenal put in a strong performance and were just seconds away from securing a famous win against Manchester City. Morgan believes that they were the moral winners of the match, and even went as far as saying that Arsenal will win the league this season. He also criticized the referee, Michael Oliver, for favoring Man City throughout the game.
In the end, the Premier League decided not to take any further action against either team for the incidents that occurred after the game. Manchester City, who are aiming for a fifth consecutive league title, currently sit at the top of the table with 13 points, while Arsenal are in fourth place, two points behind them. Despite being title contenders, both teams will need to maintain their composure and sportsmanship on the pitch in order to achieve their goals.
Overall, the game between Manchester City and Arsenal was filled with drama and controversy, and it's clear that emotions were running high. Haaland's actions were heavily criticized by both fans and experts, and it remains to be seen if he will learn from this incident and show more humility in the future. As for Arsenal, they can take pride in their performance despite being down a man, and will continue to push for their first league title in two decades.
