Ian Wright hit out at a coward s move from Erling Haaland as Man City came from behind to draw against Arsenal on Sunday.
A wonderful strike from Riccardo Calafiori cancelled out Haaland s opener before Gabriel Magalhaes scored before half-time to give the Gunners the lead going into the break.
had to play the entire second half with ten men after for kicking the ball away at the end of the first half.
The pressure from Man City finally told deep in second-half stoppage time as John Stones struck an equaliser with moments to go.
After the goal went in, Haaland decided to throw the ball at the back of Arsenal defender Gabriel s head with Wright fuming at the incident after watching it back on Monday morning.
: So I feel like I need to put something out there that s been bothering me. Because obviously the Trossard sending off, in the moment, you re frustrated, it s 2-1. I m thinking yes we ve got them and then he gets sent off for something that, let s face it, it s f***king foolishness what they are getting sent off for now.
So in the moment, yeah, but he shouldn t be sent off for that. But you know what really boiled me up properly was Haaland s coward s move.
I saw it this morning properly. Throwing the ball at Gabby s [Gabriel Magalhaes] head when he s not looking, when Gabby s back is turned to him. A real coward s move. Gabby would look you in the eye. I m looking at this like a really good defender versus striker for years to come. I love watching those two.
And then you are doing a coward s move like that? No no, that s what bothered me more than anything else. I thought he was bigger than that.
