Erling Haaland, Manchester City's star striker, believes Arsenal's Gabriel should have received a red card for attempting to headbutt him during their recent match. Haaland outmuscled Gabriel to score the winning goal, and the two players were involved in a heated exchange afterwards.
While Gabriel was only given a yellow card, Haaland thinks he would have been sent off if he had reacted differently to the incident. Former referee Mike Dean and Sky Sports' Gary Neville also felt that Gabriel was fortunate to avoid a stricter punishment.
Haaland's winner has brought Manchester City within three points of the league leaders, and they have a game in hand. The Norwegian striker is focused on helping his team return to the top of the table, rather than worrying about whether they are getting into the minds of their opponents, such as Arsenal.
