Erling Haaland did not pull any punches when he came face-to-face with Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly.
The striker netted Manchester City‘s opener in the draw on Sunday, before Arsenal‘s Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel fired the visitors ahead before the break.

Despite Arsenal going down to ten men after Leandro Trossard received two yellow cards, City took until the eighth minute of added time to break them down, with John Stones netting the equaliser to make it 2-2.
Tempers had flared throughout the clash, but they bubbled over at full time.
And one new face got involved in the scenes after the final whistle – Gunners debutante Lewis-Skelly.
The 17-year-old entered the fray the dying minutes of the game, having been booked before he even came on, as tensions hit their peak and Arsenal tried to keep City at bay.
After Stones’ equaliser and the final whistle, Haaland and Gabriel were seen arguing.
Lewis-Skelly didn’t hesitate to step in front his teammate to put a stop to it.
And TV cameras showed Haaland wasn’t having any of it.
He appeared to mouth ‘who the f*** are you?’ multiple times to the teenager.
Ilkay Gundogan was also involved, pushing the pair apart.
Ben White and Jakub Kiwior were also involved as they defended Lewis-Skelly and Gabriel.

The coming together was eventually diffused after their teammates’ intervention.
Haaland’s feisty side didn’t just come out when going face-to-face with Lewis-Skelly.
He was also spotted throwing a ball at Arsenal defender Gabriel’s head after John Stones’ equaliser at the death.
It was an action-packed game for the Norwegian, with his goal being his 100th for Man City.
He has now levelled Cristiano Ronaldo’s feat for the number of games it took to reach a century for a club, with the Portuguese achieving the feat at Real Madrid.
Aside his clash with Haaland, Lewis-Skelly will remember Sunday’s clash as he marked his first senior Arsenal appearance.
He’s been at Hale End since the age of nine.
