A lip-reading expert has revealed what Erling Haaland has allegedly told Gabriel after the defender was seen laughing in the face of the Manchester City striker as Arsenal won by 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

Tension between the players arose after Martin Odegaard opened the lead for the Gunners, and the Brazilian was spotted running to his team-mates to celebrate the goal. The 27-year-old stopped along the way to mock the Norwegian – an act of revenge after Haaland threw a ball at Gabriel’s head in the dramatic 2-2 draw in September 2024.

The Brazilian had the best opportunity to do so, as his side was outperforming the opposition, punishing the Citizens for their multiple defensive and passing errors from the back. The Norwegian striker was booed and jeered before and during Sunday’s game, and a lip-reader revealed the conversation the two players had during the game.

Speaking to JeffBet, forensic lip reader Nicola Hickling claimed that Haaland said: ‘Don’t forget it. Look at it’, while poiting to his Premier League winner’s badge.
