Haaland Throws Ball at Gabriel’s Head After Man City’s Late Equaliser Against Arsenal

• Erling Haaland's reaction following Manchester City's dramatic last-minute equaliser against Arsenal has surfaced online
• The Citizens hosted the Gunners at the Etihad Stadium for a thrilling showdown on Sunday afternoon
• After the goal, a video surfaced on social media showing Erling Haaland tossing the ball at an Arsenal player

Erling Haaland was seen hurling the ball at Arsenal defender Gabriel following Manchester City's dramatic last-minute equaliser.

Arsenal were on the verge of a major victory at the Etihad despite playing the second half with only ten men.

However, substitute John Stones snatched a point in the eighth minute of stoppage time, making it 2-2.

But as Stones celebrated his last-gasp equaliser, Haaland—who scored his 100th goal for Manchester City earlier—went largely unnoticed as he retrieved the ball from the net.

Instead of taking it to the centre circle, Haaland threw the ball at Arsenal defender Gabriel, who had his back turned and his shirt pulled over his head in frustration.

Whether the throw was intentional or not, tensions boiled over after the goal and continued past the final whistle, with both players visibly angry at each other.

Here are some of the responses from netizens.

@iamBinHuzairu:

"Imagine if Vinicius Jr. did this."

"That's makes it 116 charges."

@balawalqayoom:

Analysis shows Arsenal were ultimate winners despite draw with Manchester City

When last did Arsenal win at Etihad?

Arsenal's hopes of securing their first win at the Etihad since 2015 were thrown into jeopardy when Leandro Trossard was sent off just before halftime for a second yellow card after kicking the ball away following a shove on Bernardo Silva.

The Gunners were forced to defend desperately, with Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz not completing a single pass for the entire match, per Talksport.

What's next for Arsenal and Man City?

With the Premier League clash behind them, both teams now focus on the Carabao Cup.

Arsenal will host Bolton on 25 September, while City faces Watford at the Etihad a day before, offering a chance for both sides to quickly move past the drama and refocus on their respective campaigns.
