Arsenal player Gabriel Magalhaes breaks silence on Erling Haaland ball behaviour on the pitch after he threw the ball at Gabriel’s head after John Stones’ equaliser during their draw match on sunday

Gabriel told Manchester City that Arsenal is “waiting for them at our ground” after the “battle” at Etihad Stadium.

On Sunday afternoon, Arsenal and City played to a thrilling 2-2 draw. Jones Stones scored the last-second equalizer for Pep Guardiola’s team.

Arsenal had been ahead 2-1 up to that point, and they were fighting hard in the second half even though they were down to 10 players after Leandro Trossard was sent off.

Anger was high at the end of the game, and it had been getting close to boiling over after Stones’ goal, when Haaland hit Gabriel in the head with the ball.

The Brazilian back says that didn’t bother him, but he expects another angry game when the two teams play again later this season at Emirates Stadium.

Haaland threw the ball at Gabriel’s head, but Gabriel told TNT Sports Brazil, “I don’t even remember this.”

“It’s normal; they were happy when they scored in the last second.” Being at home, it was their job to win, but our team did a great job of standing up to them.

Because football is a fight, not a war, it’s okay to do things that make people angry. It’s part of the game. That’s it for now; we’ll wait for them on our land.

When the game was over, players from Arsenal and City got angry with each other. Haaland was caught on camera telling Gunners manager Mikel Arteta to “stay humble.”

When the game was over, the Football Association did not do anything about what happened or why Haaland threw the ball at Gabriel’s head.

The event was looked at by VAR at the time, but it wasn’t seen as violent, so it wasn’t seen as a clear mistake. VAR can’t do anything about possible yellow cards.
