After Mikel Arteta won his first game against City thanks to a winner from Gabriel Martinelli in the 86th minute, Gunners coach Nicolas Jover became upset as the two players were leaving The Emirates.
Arsenal’s win tied them with Tottenham for first place in the Premier League, despite Spurs’ superior goal differential under Ange Postecoglou.
Walker confronted Arsenal’s set-piece coach Jover in the final seconds as City’s frustrations boiled over.
The deаd-ball specialist for the Gunners, who transferred from City in July 2021, angered Walker, who was backed up by Haaland as he charged over to confront Jover on the City bench.
Arsenal’s security personnel separated the City staff and coaches and escorted Walker and Haaland down the tunnel, where they were still visibly furious.
While injured Arsenal player Bukayo Saka attempted to calm down Jover, unused substitute Jack Grealish also had to be led down the tunnel and away from dаnger.
The French assistant, who was born in Germany, was booked earlier this season for speaking his mind on the touchline during an Arsenal game.
I know what happened, but I don’t want to sаy anything,” City manager Pep Guardiola said. They are well aware of it.
When asked if he approved of Arsenal’s play, City’s manager said, “Yeah, absolutely.”
Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, denied witnessing the figҺt.
Guardiola is certain that his team will win the Premier League for a record-breаking fourth straight season, despite suffering successive losses for the first time since December 2018.
Even though Arsenal were eight points ahead at one stage last season, Guardiola is optimistic that City can come from behind in the League once again.
“No team has ever won four in a row,” the Spanish manager proclaimed. October has arrived. Going back is a good strategy sometimes; this is not the first time I’ve said so. We were far more behind this time last year.
We still have to play Brighton and [Manchester] United this season, and I’m sure some of our fans will return. Continue. We’ve lost two in a row, and now there are internationals to worry about.
I’m hoping they can get back in shape so we can continue. Perhaps it would be better if we were there to observe what it would take to catch them. We do what we know needs to be done.
