Arsenal player Gabriel sends a harsh warning to Erling Haaland and Man City teammates. Arsenal secured a share of the spoils against Manchester City on Sunday in a controversial and bad-tempered match between the two Premier League title contenders.Gabriel has fueled the title battle by claiming Arsenal is ready to exact revenge on Manchester City. Arsenal and Manchester City drew 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, with Brazil's Gabriel clashing with Erling Haaland. And the Arsenal defender has threatened, "We are waiting for them at our ground."
It has established the Premier League rematch at the Emirates in February as the new grudge match as Arsenal seeks to overtake City in this season's title battle.Despite throwing the ball at the back of Gabriel's head during the champions' last gasp equaliser, City attacker Haaland has evaded punishment from the Football Association. It is thought that referee Michael Oliver did not witness the incident, and VAR cannot interfere in such cases.
When asked if he felt the ball touch his head, Gabriel replied, "No, I don't remember it." I don't recall it. It's normal. Anyway, congratulations to the team on the draw. "As I previously stated, fighting, war, and provocation are typical in football and part of the game. It's over now. We are already waiting for them on our grounds."Arsenal legend Ian Wright described Haaland as a "coward." Wright stated, "Throwing the ball at Gabriel's head while he isn't looking, when his back is turned to him, is a cowardly maneuver. Gabi would look him in the eyes. That is what bothered me. I assumed he was bigger than that."
That has only heightened emotions between the two clubs, resulting in a 2-2 tie after Leandro Trossard was sent off in first-half injury time. Arsenal were upset with referee Michael Oliver, who gave Trossard his marching orders but Jeremy Doku evaded punishment for delaying the restart. It added to the tensions with wild scenes at the end of the game at the Etihad Stadium when players collided following City's equaliser; coaching staff also exchanged harsh words, and players from both sides got involved in X-rated brawls.
At the final whistle, Haaland mocked Mikel Arteta by encouraging him to "stay humble" before chanting "f***ing clown" alongside Gabriel Jesus. Arsenal substitute Myles Lewis-Skelley was punished for unsporting behaviour before he even entered the pitch, when the teenager seemed to run behind the goal to provide instructions to keeper David Raya, who went down for treatment shortly after.
