Arsenal legend Ian Wright has called Erling Haaland a “coward” after his actions in the closing stages of Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday.
John Stones stabbed home a late equalizer in the 98th minute to rescue a point for City at the Etihad.
A win would have seen the Gunners go top of the Premier League table, after playing the entire second half with 10 men.
After full-time, tempers flared over with Haaland telling Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta to “stay humble.”
Haaland was then picked up by cameras throwing the ball at Gabriel after Stones’ equaliser.
Wright said in an Instagram video: “It’s 2-1. And I’m thinking ‘yes, we’ve got them’.
“And then we get sent off for something that, let’s face it, is f*****g foolishness – what they’re getting sent off for now. So in the moment, yeah. Again, you shouldn’t be sent off for that.
“But the one thing that boiled me up properly was Haaland’s coward’s move, bro. I saw it this morning properly.”
