Meanwhile, Guardiola, in his press conference, chose to remain tight-lipped about the specifics leading to the incident, saying, “I know what happened but I won’t say anything. They (Arsenal) know it.”

The scuffle followed a joyous day for Arsenal, courtesy of Gabriel Martinelli’s deflected shot that secured his side a 1-0 victory over City.

Haaland had a frustrating game, struggling to make an impact against Arsenal’s solid defense, and he ended the game without any clear effort at goal.

The win marked an important moment for Arsenal, breaking a 12-game losing streak against City.

It also helped the Gunners land into second place in the Premier League, just behind North London rivals Tottenham, who currently top the table as the second and only other unbeaten team in the league this season, after Arsenal.
