Erling Haaland trolls Arsenal after Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card vs West Ham

Manchester City Erling Haaland has reportedly trolled Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly after his red card against West Ham United.

The Gunners returned to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon looking to close the gap to leaders Liverpool.

Mikel Arteta's men knew a win would cut the gap to just five points after Liverpool's 2-2 draw against Aston Villa earlier in the week.

However, Arsenal produced a poor performance as Jarrod Bowen's first-half goal sealed a shock 1-0 win for Graham Potter's men.

Gunners star Lewis-Skelly was shown a red card in the second half after dragging down Hammers forward Mohammed Kudus.

The 18-year-old was originally given a yellow card but was upgraded to a red after a VAR review.

On the back of the incident, an image circulated on social media which showed a couple of fans poking fun at Lewis-Skelly but recreating Haaland's signature meditation celebration.

After scoring the third goal during Arsenal's 5-1 win over City, Lewis-Skelly was seen copying Haaland's celebration.

As reported by The Mirror, the image of the two West Ham fans recreating Haaland's celebration was liked on Instagram by the City man himself.

Speaking after the match, Arsenal boss Arteta expressed his anger.

He said: "I'm very disappointed, obviously very angry as well. We have to congratulate West Ham for the victory and the game that they played but I think [there was] a lot on our side we never got right.

"We have to be [angry]. I hope we are, very much, because we didn’t hit the levels today and I’m very much responsible, and I am very angry."

Arteta added: "It’s my responsibility for the team to play much better than it did today. We have to play much better, with much more quality, much more interaction. It's not good enough, that’s on me."

The Gunners are back in Premier League action on Wednesday night when they take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
