‘Stay humble,’ Haaland tells Arteta who gives him brutal death stare

ERLING HAALAND had plenty to say to Mikel Arteta following a crazy end to Man City's game with Arsenal.

The Norwegian goal machine got into a furious argument with Arteta and former City star Gabriel Jesus immediately after Sunday's dramatic 2-2 draw.

Haaland opened the scoring for the reigning Premier League champions at the Etihad.

The 24-year-old's 100th goal in City blue was quickly cancelled out by strikes from Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel.

Leandre Trossard saw red just before the break, prompting the Gunners to retreat into their penalty area for the remainder of the game.

They held out until the 98th minute, only for John Stones to lash in the leveller following pinball from a corner.

Haaland was fired up from minute one and celebrated Stones' goal by launching the ball at Gabriel's head.

Tempers boiled over on the touchline as Arteta fumed the goal had come after the allocated 7 minutes of stoppage time.

And Haaland turned up the heat after smashing into Thomas Partey directly from the restart.

In the post-match madness, Sky Sports footage shows Haaland tapping a fuming Arteta on the shoulder.

He told the Arsenal boss: "Stay humble, eh? Stay humble."

Arteta momentarily paused and glared directly at the City star, before composing himself and moving away.

Seconds later, Haaland and ex-City striker Jesus were head-to-head as the hostilities threatened to boil over.

Jesus was heard defending his manager, saying: "Come, come why you saying [that], you talking?"

Jack Grealish stepped between the pair as Haaland pushed Jesus away, with the Brazilian firing back: "Don't touch me."

Haaland replied: "What the f*** are you talking about? Get away from me you f***ing clown."

One City fan wrote on X in response: "Haaland bleeds blue, I love him."

Another said: "Premier League has been missing this type of animosity at the top of the table for years. I'm here for it."

While a third added: "Never really like Haaland - definitely gone up in my estimation though

But a Gunners supporter countered: "Haaland was rattled by us so bad."

And another added: "Can someone remind that clown that he didn't win!"

Following the draw, Guardiola appeared unimpressed at Arsenal's perceived time-wasting.

Several Gunners players hit the deck throughout a second half where Arteta's men were camped in their own box.

Guardiola fumed: "I don't know how many [Arsenal] players went down with cramp.

"But that can of course happen in a demanding game.

"Maybe I would have done the same because it is with ten men.

"You have to ask Mikel [Arteta] what the tactic was.

"They were good with the long balls into Kai Havertz who is so strong and they go for the second balls.

"In the end we were patient, had the chances and got the goal. That's all."
