City secured a 2–1 win at the Etihad thanks to Haaland’s late goal, cutting Arsenal’s lead to three points in the title race. The showdown heated up in the 83rd minute when Gabriel and Haaland clashed, tearing the Norwegian’s undershirt. After a VAR review, both received yellow cards. Guardiola said he “would not like to be Haaland and battle against Gabriel and Saliba” and described Gabriel’s defending as “really good.” The result swings momentum back to City while Arsenal cling to a narrow lead.
