Piers Morgan Slams Erling Haaland as ‘Nasty’ for Post-Match Incident with Arsenal’s Young Star
Piers Morgan has criticized Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, calling him a “nasty piece of work” following his behavior during and after the chaotic 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
The match saw Haaland score the opening goal for City, but it ended dramatically with a red card for Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard and an injury-time equalizer from John Stones.
After the game, Haaland was involved in a heated exchange with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and former City player Gabriel Jesus.
He was also seen throwing the ball at Gabriel Magalhaes’ head while he had his back turned, which sparked further outrage.
Morgan highlighted this incident and expressed his frustration on social media, emphasizing Haaland’s perceived arrogance and lack of sportsmanship, particularly towards young Arsenal player Lewis-Skelly.
Morgan’s comments were echoed by former footballer Ian Wright, who also criticized Haaland for his actions, labeling it a “coward’s move” and suggesting that such behavior was beneath him.
Despite the backlash, it has been confirmed that Haaland will not face any disciplinary action from the FA, as VAR reviewed the incident but did not find it severe enough to warrant a punishment.
The controversy surrounding Haaland’s antics has added to the intensity of the rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester City, with both sets of fans and commentators weighing in on the striker’s conduct.
