“Who the f*ck are you?” - Erling Haaland aims X-rated jibe at Arsenal midfielder during late scuffle after Manchester City equaliser in 2-2 draw
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland was spotted badmouthing Arsenal midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly in the final minutes of their 2-2 draw against the Gunners in the Premier League on September 22. The clash occurred after John Stones equalized for Man City during stoppage time (90+8'), despite the team trailing 2-1 throughout the second half.
Several clips also showed the Norwegian striker squaring up to striker Gabriel Jesus in the final moments of the game and throwing the ball at Gabriel's head after Stones' equalizer.
According to SPORTBible, Erling Haaland appeared to make an X-rated comment at Lewis-Skelly during stoppage time, saying:
"Who the f*ck are you?"
Things began well for Manchester City at home, as Erling Haaland found the net in the 9th minute. However, Arsenal struck back quickly, with Riccardo Calafiori equalizing via a free kick in the 22nd minute. Just before halftime (45+1'), Gabriel Magalhaes gave the Gunners a 2-1 lead with a goal from a corner.
The Gunners defended their lead effectively in the second half, despite being reduced to ten men after Leandro Trossard was sent off in the 45+8th minute. David Raya made multiple key saves, but Manchester City found their way back as John Stones equalized during stoppage time (90+8').
Haaland continued to hold his impressive form, with the Norwegian now having 10 goals in seven Premier League appearances so far.
Erling Haaland equals incredible Cristiano Ronaldo record after PL clash against Arsenal
Sunday's Premier League match against Arsenal also saw Erling Haaland equaling an incredible record held by Cristiano Ronaldo. The Norwegian marksman scored his 100th goal for Manchester City against Arsenal - a milestone reached in just 105 games for the club across all competitions.
Haaland equaled Cristiano Ronaldo's record, who reached the same milestone for Real Madrid after signing for Los Blancos in 2009. The Portuguese legend went on to score 450 goals and 131 assists in 438 games for the Spanish giants.
The Norwegian looks set to challenge Cristiano Ronaldo's unmatched dominance in front of the goal. Premier League defenders have been facing the wrath of the Norwegian, who has already scored ten goals in seven games across competitions.
Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, is filling stadiums in the Middle East with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Nassr. The Portuguese has already scored five goals and created two more in six games for the Knights of Najd. After recently hitting the record-900 goal mark, Ronaldo's next target is scoring 1000 goals.
