Wing striker Gabriel Martinelli brought Arsenal a breathtaking victory over Man City thanks to a somewhat lucky strike in the 86th minute of the match. Martinelli’s shot hit midfielder Nathan Ake, causing the ball to change direction and go straight into the net before goalkeeper Ederson was helpless.

Notably, this was the match in which striker Erling Haaland was disappointed by not leaving any significant mark and causing Man City to suffer 2 consecutive losses in the Premier League for the first time since December 2018 .

The frustration seemed to make the Norwegian striker unable to keep his composure and there was a scuffle with assistant coach Nicolas Jover on the sideline at the end of the match.

According to The Sun , Arsenal assistant Nicolas Jover said something bad towards Man City’s bench and made defender Kyle Walker angrily rush in and demand a loss.

Erling Haaland also quickly supported his teammates and caused conflicts between the two sides to escalate, forcing players as well as match security staff to intervene to prevent hotheads from making the situation more complicated. .

“I know what happened but I don’t want to say anything. They know it better,” coach Pep Guardiola expressed his dissatisfaction with the clash between the two teams.

The Spanish strategist believes that losing to Arsenal is completely normal and that Man City is still capable of competing for the Premier League championship when the race is still very long ahead.

“No team has ever won four Premier League titles in a row. We are still in October. Sometimes being behind other teams is a good thing, and this is not the first time we have been behind. Last year, we were much further behind than we are now.

The season is long, everyone comes back and we play Brighton and Man Utd. We have had two consecutive defeats and now give way to FIFA Days.

Hopefully the players come back healthy and then we compete again. Maybe it would be a little better to stand in this position and think about what to do to catch up with the opponent. We know exactly what we have to do and we will do it,” coach Pep Guardiola affirmed.
