Erling Haaland was at the centre of several controversial incidents during Manchester City's Premier League clash with Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.
Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey has shared his views on a potential ban for Erling Haaland following the heated Premier League encounter between Arsenal and Manchester City. The 24-year-old striker was at the heart of four major talking points from the game, with the first occurring just five minutes in.
Despite falling behind, the Gunners bounced back, netting twice before half-time. However, Leandro Trossard's red card just before the interval significantly altered the course of the game, with City dominating the second half.ALSO READ: I saw what Arsenal staff really thought about Man City as they left the Etihad
In reaction to the ball hitting the back of the net, Haaland picked it up and threw it at the back of Gabriel's head, which was buried in his shirt, before Haaland steamed into Thomas Partey following the restart. Then, after the final whistle, tensions ran high with the Norwegian involved in several confrontations with the opposition.
"It's like he's throwing a punch at someone's head. So he can count himself very lucky that Michael Oliver didn't see that and VAR didn't pick it up either. It will be interesting to see if the FA take retrospective action over that incident because it could be construed as violent conduct."
