Fans convinced they know what Erling Haaland said to Gabriel as footage of Man City star taunting Arsenal rival emerges

FANS are convinced they know what Erling Haaland said to Gabriel while the Manchester City star was relentlessly taunted by Arsenal. The Gunners spent the entire 90 minutes winding up the striker during yesterday’s 5-1 win.

Mikel Arteta’s side got their own back by continuously trying to get under his skin, with main perpetrator Gabriel, Myles Lewis-Skelly and even the stadium DJ all part of the goading onslaught. Despite constantly being a target, Haaland did not react besides one moment in the second-half. The Norwegian exchanged words with Gabriel and then flexed the gold Premier League badge on the sleeve of the champions’ shirt. Lip-reading fans are certain Haaland said: “You’d love this, eh?” City will not make it five titles in a row as they are now a huge 15 points off the top of the table. But Arsenal’s 20-year wait for glory may also go on if they cannot overturn a six-point deficit on Liverpool. Getting one over on Haaland was something for them to celebrate, with daggers drawn before yesterday’s game begun when Gabriel said: “It’s a battle, a war”.

Myles Lewis-Skelly later netted to make it 3-1 and he brutally copied the City star’s trademark goal celebration. Gabriel, who was in Haaland’s ear all game, also grabbed his shorts as he sat on the ground after a foul. Arsenal’s DJ joined in by blasting out the song “Humble” by Kendrick Lamar at full-time. Meanwhile, Gunners fans chanted: “Erling Haaland, stay humble you c***.” At the end of the game, the unmoved goal machine walked over to applaud the City fans, again pointing to the golden Prem badge and his mind. Arteta has encouraged his players to stop their antics, saying: “Leave anything that happened that’s part of the game on the pitch. “I have been in football a long time. Just leave it. There is nothing there to do.” But it did not stop Lewis-Skelly posting a picture of his Haaland-like celebration with the words: “Keep it humble.” His dad Alfie responded to a picture of the Arsenal teenager, writing: “This team that wins everything. Ehhhhh, not.” Arsenal player ratings vs Man City ARSENAL stunned Man City 5-1 at the Emirates on Sunday evening. It was an incredible result against their rivals of recent years. Here, we take a look at how the Gunners rated… David Raya – 7/10Had very little to do in the first half but made a brilliant save in the 22nd minute to deny a goalbound header from Josko Gvardiol. Made another stunning save two minutes from the half-time interval, stopping a deflected Savinho shot from close range. Powerless to stop Erling Haaland’s 55th-minute header from briefly levelling the scores. Jurrien Timber – 6Didn’t offer his usual attacking threat going forward but was solid defensively. Picked up a pointless yellow breaking up a harmless counter-attack in the 24th minute. Almost scored late in the second half. William Saliba – 5Didn’t have much to do in the first half but won all his aerial battles in the first 45 minutes. Marshalled the defence well early in the second period but was embarrassingly outjumped and outmuscled by Haaland for City’s equaliser – a major flaw of his that continues to be exposed. Gabriel Magalhaes – 6Like his defensive partner, he was seldom called into action in the first half. Dominant in the air in his battles with Haaland, who he trolled after Odegaard’s goal. Myles Lewis-Skelly – 8Continues to endear himself to the Emirates faithful with composure and tenacity beyond his years as he brilliantly floated between left back and midfield. Put real daylight between the two sides with a thumping finish just after the hour mark. This young lad is a real bright prospect for both the Gunners and England.His trolling of Haaland by copying the Norwegian’s ‘Lotus’ celebration went down a storm with fans. Thomas Partey – 7Steady in the heart of midfield and broke up play well when required. Fired the Gunners back into the lead in the 57th minute with a deflected shot from outside the box. Martin Odegaard – 7Was in the right place at the right time to benefit from
