Kyle Walker was involved in a heated altercation in the tunnel with an Arsenal staff member after Manchester City’s 1-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium, triggering a general confrontation between the two benches, with Erling Haaland involved.
Arsenal handed Manchester City their second consecutive defeat, the first time Pep Guardiola’s team has lost two games in a row in five years.
Tensions were high after the match, and Walker and his teammate Erling Haaland were seen confronting a group heading towards the tunnel. The right-back found himself facing Nicolas Jover, Arsenal’s set-piece coach who had worked for Manchester City between 2019 and 2021, after appearing to ignore Jover’s gesture.
Haaland then attempted to separate his teammate before other staff members and security personnel intervened between the two men. Afterward, Guardiola smiled and said about the altercation, « I know what happened, but I won’t say anything. They know. »
