Ian Wright tears into Erling Haaland and calls Man City striker a 'coward' for his behaviour against Arsenal in furious rant

Ian Wright was far from impressed...

Ian Wright has slammed Erling Haaland for what he did following Manchester City's equaliser and even labelled the striker a 'coward'.

Arsenal were so close to snatching all three points at the Etihad before John Stones' last gasp equaliser meant the points were shared between Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta.

Arteta's men looked to be in control before the break, but a second yellow card for Leandro Trossard for kicking the ball away (again) completely changed the picture.

Former Arsenal star Ian Wright took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the decision.

"I've got to get something out there that's bothering me cause obviously the Trossard sending off of course in the moment you're frustrated," he said.

"I'm thinking yes we've got them and then we get sent off for something that let's face it, is f***king foolishness what they're getting sent off for now. You shouldn't be getting sent off for that."

While the red card has certainly been the main talking point for many Arsenal fans, the former Gunner has revealed he is far more wound up by the antics of Erling Haaland.

"But what really boiled me up properly was Haaland's coward's move," Wright explained.

"I saw it this morning properly, throwing the ball at Gabby's head when he's not looking, when his back is turned to him that's a real coward's move.

"Gabby would look you in the eye, I'm looking at this as a really good defender against a really good striker. I love watching them two but then you're doing a cowardly move like that. That's what bothered me more than anything else," he concluded.

Haaland didn't stop at just Gabriel either, with the Premier League top scorer took issue with Arteta after full time, telling the Arsenal boss to "stay humble".

The Norwegian also had a dig at 17-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly who was making his debut, as he asked the youngster 'who the f*ck are you', during another confrontation.
