Leandro Trossard’s red card against Manchester City pulled Mikel Arteta off track just as he was about to finish his halfway speech.
The Belgian player hit Bernardo Silva, which caused the referee to blow his whistle. The Belgian player then threw the ball away, but Michael Oliver quickly gave him a red card. The Arsenal players were furious about the decision, and one of them was the last to leave the field.
Arteta got so excited that he put his jumper over his head and talked to the fourth official by himself. There was a lot of rain in Manchester, so the Spanish coach took off half of his shirt before he spoke.
The Gunners manager clearly wasn’t happy with the result, but all he could do was wave his arms near the dugout. He also had to rethink his plan in the eighth minute of extra time. Arteta was able to get himself together again, though.
It was clear that Arsenal fans were angry as Trossard walked off the field, but Arteta was still able to calm him down by hugging him as he crossed the byline. The Arsenal forward was taken off by Arteta’s coaching team, who could still see anger in his eyes.
The Gunners did, however, keep their lead at halftime. The North London team was down after Erling Haaland scored, but they were able to come back. Riccardo Calafiori scored an amazing goal on his first game in the Premier League, tying the game.
After that, Gabriel scored his second goal of the year by turning in a corner kick from Bukayo Saka. The Brazilian had the ball first in the first minute of extra time.
One Arsenal player has been sent off twice this season for kicking the ball away after getting a second yellow card. After it was found that Declan Rice had left the Brighton game before the Seagulls were given a free kick, he was told to leave.
