Bombshell Report Reveals Arsenal Players’ Fury After Manchester City Comments
The drama that unfolded at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday is still resonating in the Premier League, with a fresh report claiming that Arsenal players were left fuming in the dressing room after Manchester City players made some scathing comments about their use of the "dark arts".
The match itself was a thrilling encounter, with City denying Arsenal a statement victory in the 98th minute through John Stones’ dramatic equaliser. However, it’s the controversy that surrounded the game that has really gotten tongues wagging.
According to The Independent, some Arsenal players were left incensed after City players made comments about their tactics and gamesmanship. The report claims that even before Leandro Trossard’s red card, some Gunners had complained that moments like Declan Rice’s red card against Brighton never seem to happen to City.
But it’s not just Arsenal who were involved in the drama. The Independent alleges that City have privately pointed to Arsenal’s time wasting and on-pitch issues, claiming that they had a point to make with their comments.
The tension between the two teams is said to have been building for some time, with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta accusing City of making it difficult for his players to do their job.
"We went 2-1 up and then there were two very similar incidents, in particular one with a very different outcome that forces you to play a game that nobody wanted to watch," Arteta said in his post-match press conference. "I think it’s very obvious. I don’t need to talk about it."
This isn’t the first time that Arsenal have been involved in controversy this season. Trossard’s red card against Brighton was seen as a key moment in the game, and some have questioned whether the punishment fit the crime.
With the Premier League season continuing to heat up, we can expect more drama and controversy to unfold in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for all the latest updates and analysis right here.
