Erling Haaland: Many questions are being raised on why Erling Haaland was not penalised for his antics at the end of the Manchester City vs Arsenal clash that took place on Sunday. Former Arsenal legend Ian Wright has labelled Haaland’s actions as a ‘coward move.’

The match between Arsenal and Manchester City, the two Premier League title contenders, took a dark turn when Leandro Trossard was sent off with a second yellow card for delaying the restart. Arsenal, who held a 2-1 lead, at half-time were reduced to ten men and were forced to fall deep into their own box to stop what is perhaps the most destructive attacking unit in the country to try and hold on to the slender advantage.

After a remarkable showing that almost took the Gunners over the line, John Stones scored a late equaliser to level the game. Amidst celebrations by the City players, Haaland who had scored his 100th goal for Man City in the ninth minute of the game, celebrated by picking the ball out of the net and throwing it at Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes’ head when he was not looking.
