Erling Haaland told Mikel Arteta to “stay humble” during heated post-match scenes after Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

After the full-time whistle, Haaland was caught on camera approaching Arteta and he patted the ex-Man City assistant manager on the back while saying “stay humble, eh, stay humble.”

Arteta ignored the 24-year-old’s comments, but Haaland was subsequently confronted by Gabriel Jesus.

“Come, why you saying, you talking,” the Arsenal forward told Haaland.

The Man City forward didn’t take well to Jesus’ comment and he replied: “Talking about what? I wasn’t talking s*** clown.”

After pushing the Arsenal man away, Haaland added: “What are you talking about? Get the f*** away, you clown.”

Erling Haaland’s eventful Sunday afternoon

The Norway international scored his 100th Man City goal to put Pep Guardiola’s side 1-0 up during the game, but they needed a Leandro Trossard red card and a 98th minute John Stones equaliser to salvage a point against the Gunners.

There were several points of tension during the match, with the two title contenders playing out a fierce contest at the Etihad Stadium.

Kai Havertz barged into Rodri just seconds into the match, Trossard was sent off for delaying the restart, while Haaland was involved in several key incidents.

After Stones’ last-gasp equaliser, the Man City forward threw the ball at the back of Gabriel Magalhaes’ head before joining his team-mates in celebration.

Seconds later, after Arsenal restarted the game, Haaland barged into Thomas Partey, with the Ghana international attempting to block Man City’s star forward from closing down David Raya.

In the brawl that followed, Haaland was approached by Arsenal debutant Lewis Miles-Skelly, which prompted the Man City forward to seemingly say: “Who the f*** are you?”

Stones’ late equaliser means Man City remain unbeaten so far this season, while they are currently leading the Premier League table by one point ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa.
