It was when an Arsenal staff member intervened, believing that the players were arguing without any reason, which led to an exchange of words between him and Walker. Haaland, then, walked over to the pair to defend his teammate before things got more heated up. The City manager Pep Guardiola refused to address the issue in his press conference.
Addressing the media, he said, "I know what happened, but I don't want to say. They know it." Speaking about the match, he said, "We had our moments, they had their moments. The rest was equal, and in one action they won. Arsenal made it difficult. Congratulations to Arsenal - that's all I can do. We know exactly what we have to do, and we'll do it."
With their 1-0 win, Arsenal moved to second position in the standings, levelling Tottenham at 20 points.
