Erling Haaland was a key figure in today’s match against Arsenal, but his performance extended beyond just scoring a goal; his behavior on and off the field also drew attention.
The match was charged with emotion right up to the final whistle from referee Michael Oliver. Haaland made headlines when he celebrated John Stones’ equalizer in the 90+8 minute by throwing the ball at Gabriel’s head, which led to a heated exchange with Gabriel and Jesus.
After Stones’ goal, young Arsenal debutant Myles Lewis-Skelly attempted to intervene, but Haaland dismissed him, saying, “Who the f*** are you?”
Haaland’s reaction to the 17-year-old, especially after Lewis-Skelly had already made headlines for receiving a yellow card before stepping onto the field for allegedly urging goalkeeper David Raya to waste time, has raised eyebrows.
