Erling Haaland has had an incredibly emotional evening. His Manchester City faced Arsenal in a top-flight clash. It was a match between the current champion and the vice-champion of England, so it had to be hot. And it was. The Norwegian clearly couldn't stand the heat of the match, because towards the very end he let himself be carried away by unhealthy emotions.
It's unbelievable what Haaland did. Total disrespect
Attacker started very well. In the 9th minute he converted a pass from Savinho into a goal, which was his 100th goal in 105 appearances in Manchester City. Arsenal quickly recovered, however, and went 2-1 up before the break with goals from Calafiori and Gabriel.
City's situation was getting worse by the minute. It seemed that they were about to taste defeat. However, in the eighth minute of added time, there was a sudden turn of events. After some confusion after a corner kick, John Stones scored to make it 2-2. It was then that Haaland's dark side was revealed.
Right after scoring the goal, the striker ran to the goal, grabbed the ball and treated Gabriel in a terrible way. The Brazilian defender was standing with his back to him and was hiding his face in sorrow. in a T-shirt. When the Norwegian noticed this, he suddenly threw the ball at the back of his head and ran away.
We didn't know this side of Haaland. Brutal behavior, and then a squabble. Horror
But that wasn't the end of it. Right after the restart, Haaland made a completely senseless tackle with a huge force into Thomas Partey, who fell to the pitch. Surprisingly, Haaland wasn't even given a yellow card.
The scandalous behavior may have escaped the referee's attention, but not the Arsenal players. After the final whistle, the aforementioned Gabriel started to criticize Haaland. The two men fought for a while, and then Ben White came to the Brazilian's defense, Jacob Kiwior and Myles Lewis-Skelly. Haaland, who was supported by Ilkay Gundogan, didn't care about any of that.
Later, cameras recorded the attacker exchanging a few words in private with Gabriel Jesus. The gentlemen argued violently and it was clear that there was a spark between them. There was no shortage of vulgar words. Fortunately, there were no fights and both went their separate ways.
