Manchester City's captain, Bernardo Silva, praised Erling Haaland for his performance in their 2-1 victory over Arsenal, stating that he "fought like an animal" during the game. The victory, which propelled City to within three points of Arsenal, was largely influenced by Haalander's physical battle with Arsenal defender Gabriel. Haalan also commented on Gabriel's actions during the match, suggesting he could have seen red. The final Premier League match between the two teams is set to take place in mid-November.
