Haaland Claims Gabriel Should Have Received a Red Card

Manchester City's Erling Haaland believes Arsenal's Gabriel was fortunate to avoid a red card for his attempted headbutt during City's 2-1 victory. Haaland outmuscled Gabriel to score the winner and later stated that if he had reacted differently to the incident, Gabriel would have been sent off. Former referee Mike Dean and Sky Sports' Gary Neville shared Haaland's opinion, suggesting Gabriel was lucky to have escaped with only a yellow card. The incident has sparked debate, with some arguing that Gabriel's actions warranted a red card, while others believe the referee made the right decision.
