Arsenal thumped Manchester City 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium yesterday.
The Gunners went ahead after an early strike from their skipper Martin Odegaard.
This led to Gabriel then celebrating wildly in Erling Haaland’s face, rekindling their feud from the game at the Etihad Stadium that ended 2-2.

Following that, Kai Havertz, then missed a glorious chance to make it two with Gary Neville on commentary saying he looks like he lacked confidence and his finish was woeful at best.

But, parity was short lived as Thomas Partey’s deflected strike flew past Ortega in goal.
Myles Lewis-Skelly then put the game to bed curling in a third for Arteta’s men before hitting Haaland’s own celebration.

Earlier in the season Haaland had chucked the ball at Gabriel following John Stones’ dramatic late equaliser and also had a row with Mikel Arteta telling him to stay humble.
Every single player, staff member, employee at Arsenal FC took that ‘‘stay humble’’ from Erling Haaland personal and humbled him right in front of his eyes. This Man City downfall is sweet pic.twitter.com/nL3o691S2L
