- Haaland had opened the scoring, before Riccardo Calafiori restored parity with a stunning strike from outside the box and Gabriel gave the Gunners the lead from Saka’s corner
The Football Association, FA, has said it will not penalise Erling Haaland for hitting Gabriel with the ball on the head.
The Manchester City forward had bounced the ball off Gabriel’s head after their late goal against Arsenal.
The incident happened in the 98th minute after John Stones snatched a dramatic equaliser for City in a pulsating 2-2 draw.

Leandro Trossard was shown a second yellow card for kicking the ball away before late heartache was inflicted by Stones.
After Stones bundled home, Haaland picked the ball up and threw it against the head of Gabriel – who could not see what was happening as he had his shirt over his face.
No action was taken at the time and the FA has now ruled that VAR reviewed the incident already
