After Manchester City equalised against Arsenal in added time (2-2), Erling Haaland lit the fuse with a questionable gesture.

It was THE match of the start of the Premier League season, and we will know in a few months the real impact of this goal in the 98th minute. On a final corner, after total domination in the second half with 11 against 10, Manchester City snatched the equalizer against Arsenal at the end of added time, with a goal from John Stones.

After this spectacular outcome, Erling Haaland wanted to tease the Gunners. The Norwegian striker, who had opened the scoring during this match, grabbed the ball in the net before throwing it at the head of Gabriel Magalhaes, who had covered his face after his shirt, out of spite.

Sweet words for Arsenal youngster

This far from elegant gesture lit the fuse at the end of the match. Gabriel Magalhaes demanded an explanation from Haaland, who also got heated with Myles Lewis-Skelly.
“But who the f… are you?” would have even let go of the Manchester City striker to the young player launched at the end of the match by Mikel Arteta.
