Erling Haaland was spotted throwing the ball at Arsenal defender Gabriel after Manchester City’s last-ditch equaliser.

Arsenal were seconds away from a statement win against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium having played the entire second half with ten men.

But substitute John Stones stole a point at the death to make it 2-2, firing home in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

But as focus went to Stones wheeling away celebrating, Haaland – who bagged his 100th City goal this afternoon – went unnoticed as he ran to retrieve the ball from the net.

The striker picked the ball up, but instead of running to the centre circle, proceeded to throw it at Arsenal defender Gabriel’s head.

The Brazilian had his back turned to the Norwegian at the time, with his shirt over his head in frustration.

Whether the lob was deliberate or not, tempers flared after the goal and beyond the final whistle, with the pair seen fuming at each other.

Fans on social media noticed Haaland’s move after the game, with one writing with a laughing face: “As if that’s Haaland’s reaction to the equaliser.”

“Haaland is a menace,” another wrote.

A third joked: “He could’ve been killed!”

Haaland was also spotted arguing with Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus and Myles Lewis-Skelly, rounding off a feisty clash between last season’s Premier League title rivals that saw even Pep Guardiola boot his dug out seat in frustration.

The Gunners had gone behind after just five minutes, as City’s superstar forward Haaland netted his Cristiano Ronaldo recording-levelling goal.

Riccardo Califiori then bagged a long-ranger, marking his first start in style, before the Gunners unleashed their cheat code Gabriel as he scored from another corner with a towering header.

Arsenal’s first victory at the Etihad since 2015 looked in doubt when Leandro Trossard was sent off just before half time for a second booking after kicking the ball away after shoving Bernardo Silva in the back.

The Gunners defended for their lives, so much so that Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz didn’t complete a single pass throughout the entire match.

But Stones stepped up to save the day for City who struggled for 45 minutes to break down Arsenal’s wall.

It’s tight at the top, and Arsenal will be wishing they could have taken all three points

His equaliser was City’s latest goal scored on record in a Premier League match since the 2006/07 season.

It came from Pep Guardiola’s side’s 28th shot in the second half.

That’s the joint-second highest ever number of shots by a side in a second half of a Premier League game on record since the 2003/04 campaign.

Man City remain top of the Premier League, three points ahead of fourth-place Arsenal.
