City v Arsenal descends into chaos

As was expected, the Etihad cracker was fiery throughout the 90 minutes as the English giants kept fans glued.

Ruben Dias's clash with Ben White and Jack Grealish coming to blows in the second half were some of the major talking points during the tie.

According to The Sun, those aggressive vibes spilt over after the final whistle, with Haaland and White appearing to get involved in a confrontation.

Haaland was caught on camera by BT Sport marching towards White before a host of Arsenal and City players joined in.

The situation escalated soon after, with a number of players getting involved in the melee before the referee was forced to calm the situation with no player punished.

Arteta copied Guardiola's tactics

Sports Brief previously reported how Arteta copied Guardiola's tactics in deploying former Citizens star, Oleksandr Zinchenko, who joined Arsenal for £32 million in the summer.

The former City assistant boss revealed he utilises the Ukrainian as a floating full-back similar to how Pep deployed German full-back, Philip Lahm during his time at Bayern Munich.
