Erling Haaland told he was 'rattled' by Gabriel as ex-Man Utd defender explains why Man City star threw ball at Brazilian's head during feisty draw with Arsenal

<p>Haaland <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erling-haaland-classless-x-rated-jibe-arsenal-myles-lewis-skelly-man-city-star-called-out-disrespecting-gabriel-john-stones-equaliser/blt4535c88e0ea10b1f" target="_blank">launched the ball off of the back of the Brazilian's head</a> after City scored a last-minute equaliser to seal a 2-2 draw in the Premier League clash. The incident has caused an uproar, but the City striker<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erling-haaland-man-city-hitman-retrospective-punishment-launching-ball-gabriel-magalhae-draw-arsenal-explained/blte3e254323c5ba021" target="_blank"> will face no punishment for his actions.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Sunday showdown was a feisty affair that saw Arsenal reduced to 10 men when Leandro Trossard was sent off in the first half, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/war-gabriel-responds-to-erling-haaland-throwing-ball-at-his-head-arsenal-defender-warning-man-city-squad/blt7bbc653f43c1535d" target="_blank">Gabriel went on to declare the game "a war"</a>, and ex-Manchester United defender Brown believes Haaland had been affected by the Brazilian defender earlier in the game.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told <a href="https://www.instantcasino.com/en" target="_blank"><em>Instant Casino</em></a>: "I think Gabriel rattled Erling Haaland a little bit the other day. You could see there were a few little squabbles between the pair, and I think that means that Haaland knew that he was having a tough game against Gabriel, even though he scored. He’d probably lap it up if he was having a good game so you can tell that he must have got to him throughout the match.</p><p>"It can be easy to lose your head a bit at times. It was a big game between the two best sides in the league and I reckon it’ll be those two at the top again. Manchester City scored that late goal but they’ll still be disappointed with drawing the game – it was a chance for them to pull away a little bit. You could see it was a very physical game so it’s no surprise things spilled over a little bit between the players."</p>

WHAT WES BROWN SAID

<p>Arsenal are in Carabao Cup action on Wednesday with a game against Bolton, while Manchester City take on Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday.</p>
