A lip-reading expert has revealed what Erling Haaland has allegedly told Gabriel after the defender was seen laughing in the face of the Manchester City striker as Arsenal won by 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

Tension between the players arose after Martin Odegaard opened the lead for the Gunners, and the Brazilian was spotted running to his team-mates to celebrate the goal.

The 27-year-old stopped along the way to mock the Norwegian - an act of revenge after Haaland threw a ball at Gabriel's head in the dramatic 2-2 draw in September 2024.
