Stars Kyle Walker and Erling Haaland of Manchester City got into a heated argument after the team was eliminated from the playoffs for the first time in nearly five years.

Just after Mikel Arteta’s historic victory over City in the 86th minute thanks to a goal from Gabriel Martinelli, Gunners coach Nicolas Jover angrily walked out with the two.

With the victory, Arsenal’s lead over Ange Postecoglou’s team in goals scored was trimmed to one, moving them equal on points with their rivals from North London, Tottenham.

Walker squared up to Arsenal set-piece coach Jover in the end, causing City, who are two points behind, to lose their cool.

The dead-ball specialist for the Gunners, who came over from City in July 2021, muttered something to the City bench that infuriated Walker, who rushed over to challenge Jover, who was backed by Haaland.

After that, a large group of City employees and coaches gathered, and then the security personnel from Arsenal divided the two groups and escorted Walker and Haaland—who were still very upset—down the tunnel.

The French assistant, who was born in Germany, received a booking during an Arsenal match earlier this season. He is well-known for being more than willing to voice his opinions on the touchline.

“I know what happened but I don’t want to say anything,” stated Pep Guardiola, the manager of City. They are aware of it.”

When asked if he was pleased with Arsenal’s behavior, the City manager replied, “Yes, without a doubt.”

Arsenal manager Arteta asserted that he was not present during the altercation.

Although his team has not lost consecutive games since December 2018, Guardiola is confident in his team’s ability to capture an unprecedented fourth Premier League title in a row.

Guardiola is optimistic that City can overcome its previous season’s eight-point deficit against Arsenal, as they have recovered from behind in the League previously.

According to the Spanish manager, “No team has ever won four straight.” October is upon us. Going back is sometimes a good thing; this is not the first instance. We were far farther behind than we are now last year.

“People will return; the season is long, and we play [Manchester] United and Brighton.” Proceed. We now have two straight losses before the internationals.

“Hopefully they return in good condition so we can go again. Perhaps it would be best to be present and observe what steps need to be taken in order to apprehend them. We execute what we know needs to be done precisely.”
