Kevin De Bruyne shoves Arteta & points in his face after Arsenal boss shields ball from him

During their Premier League match on Wednesday night, Kevin de Bruyne shoved Mikel Arteta after the Spaniard took the ball from him.

Manchester City eventually prevailed 3-1, moving ahead of Arsenal on goal differential.

During Manchester City's 3-1 victory over Arsenal, De Bruyne attempted to take a quick throw-in, but the Arsenal manager blocked him and flicked the ball away.

Arteta had angered De Bruyne, who retaliated by shoving the 40-year-old Spaniard in the chest before sprinting off to grab the ball.

De Bruyne retrieved the ball from the area next to the Arsenal bench and headed back toward the sidelines.

Before returning to it, he argued with Arteta along the way and pointed a finger at the Arsenal manager.

Darren England, the fourth official, intervened to defuse the situation while Granit Xhaka defended Arteta from De Bruyne.

During the match with the Belgian international, Arteta's defense was also seen coming from the Arsenal coaching staff.
