Manchester City striker Erling Haaland will not face any further action from the Football Association (FA) for throwing the ball at Gabriel Magalhaes’ head during their recent clash with Arsenal.
The incident, which occurred during a heated 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium, was reviewed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) during the match. As it was not deemed an act of violent conduct, the FA has decided against imposing any retrospective punishment on the forward.
The match itself was an exciting affair, with Haaland opening the scoring for Manchester City in the 9th minute, marking his 100th goal for the club. Arsenal quickly responded when Riccardo Calafiori equalized in the 22nd minute. Just before halftime, Gabriel Magalhaes headed in to give Arsenal a 2-1 lead. However, Manchester City managed to salvage a point through a dramatic stoppage-time goal from John Stones.
Both teams can look back on a fiercely contested game that showcased their resilience and determination. While the decision not to penalize Haaland has generated discussion among fans and pundits, attention has shifted back to the intensity of the rivalry and the thrilling football displayed by both sides.
