Was it deliberate I thought just threw ball into net but did anyone notice or cared I saw it too.... but Didn't see any arsenal players complain? Yes Robinson got sent off for throwng ball at swans head but that was deemed violent action in front of ref with player pretending he was shot in head! But Did you see his brilliant finish though

He ran in to the goal and picked the ball up then threw it quite hard in the back of the Arsenal player head.Deliberate or not it’s a red card.
I like Him and a great finish for the first but still should have gone.

Well no one including var thought anything of it so that should tell you it wasn't how you described it......

Haaland definitely threw the ball at the Arsenal player with intent.

He ran into the goal, picked the ball up, I thought he was going to run back to the centre circle with it, in order to restart the game and try and get a winner, but know he was more focused on hitting the Arsenal player with it


At the same time another Man City ran into the penalty area to celebrate and also hit the same Arsenal player !

So two man c players should been sent off? Shame var had packed their bags on 90mins and missed the attack!

He seems to get away with a lot, reminds me of when Shearer used to get preferential treatment from referees.

What's hilarious is he was telling Arteta after the match to "stay humble". He should practice what he preaches.

Pot kettle black springs to mind considering arsenal cheating with injuries..... it is cheating and ref saw it that way hence the 2 extra minutes in which man c scored..... but your right he does get away with being a robust player :laughing6:

Var didn't get involved as ref saw incident and took no action do var not involved... same for premier league no retrospective action for haaland or both sides for players and coaches actions during game and at end.

Games gone if you're getting a straight red for a ball to the back of the head. I heard TalkSport calling it 'violent conduct'.

He's a character in an era of absolute drips.

It that's violent conduct hate to think what make of Norman hunter ect ect... what really gets me is pundits calling arsenals tactics clever? It was cheating and contrary to spirit of game and technically unsporting conduct (feigning injury) that's why sub got booked before came on as he told rayer to go down injured so arteta could have team talk.... ref Oliver knew what was happening but powerless to do much and served arsenals right for conceding after allotted time it was their tactics that caused extra 2 mins or so
