During the top of the table clash, Mikel Arteta was once again the centre of attraction on the touchline. After giving the visitors the lead in the first half of the match, the Belgian playmaker was seen some heated exchange in the early minutes of the second half.
After the scoreline was levelled at 1-1, the ball rolled out for a Manchester City throw-in at the start of the second half. The Arsenal coach who was on the touchline tried to delay the attacking midfielder from putting it back into the play area by knocking it away. In response to this, the Belgian footballer shove the Arsenal boss off and wagged his finger in his face.
