Manchester City's Erling Haaland believes Arsenal's Gabriel should have been ejected from the game for attempting to headbutt him during City's 2-1 victory over the Gunners. Haaland outmuscled Gabriel to score the winning goal, and the two players later clashed, resulting in both being booked by referee Anthony Taylor.
Former official Mike Dean and Sky Sports' Gary Neville agree that Gabriel was fortunate to avoid a red card. Haaland said, 'I think it's a red card.
If I go down like any other guy, it's a red card.' The incident has sparked debate, with some arguing that Gabriel's actions constituted violent conduct and warranted a harsher punishment.
