Tensions erupted at the Emirates Stadium as Erling Haaland and Kyle Walker, both from Manchester City, engaged in a heated altercation with Arsenal staff after the match’s conclusion. The incident unfolded as both teams and their staff were leaving the pitch.
Haaland was restrained by City staff, while security personnel kept Kyle Walker away from Arsenal staff. The disagreement seemed to be triggered by comments made by a member of Arsenal’s backroom team, with Nicolas Jover, the Gunners’ set piece coach and a former City employee, appearing to be involved.
Amidst the confrontations, Phil Foden managed to find humor in the situation, offering a wry smile as he made his way down the tunnel. Security personnel then escorted Haaland and Walker away from the scene.
The incident followed Arsenal’s first Premier League victory over Manchester City in eight years, secured by Gabriel Martinelli’s late goal. Arsenal’s win marked a significant change from their previous season’s performances against City, where they failed to secure any points. Notably, Arsenal played without star player Bukayo Saka.
