Notoriously fiery Gary Neville labels Arsenal's Gabriel 'disrespectful' for screaming in Erling Haaland's face during 5-1 humiliation of Man City

Premier League

Nottingham Forest

Arsenal

Tottenham

Manchester City

<p>Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard opened the scoring for his side in the second minute of the match as he took advantage of a bizarre mix-up in the City defence. The Gunners celebrated wildly, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gabriel-brutally-laughs-in-erling-haaland-face-after-martin-odegaard-early-goal-vs-man-city-arsenal-defender-reignites-rivalry-with-norwegian-striker/blt423e84fa341709ef#csef645a510ff8473e" target="_blank">Gabriel also made time to troll Haaland</a>, running up to the Norwegian striker and brutally laughing right in his face before joining the rest of his teammates.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Brazilian's over-the-top celebration has not gone down well with ex-Manchester United star and pundit Neville. The former England right-back slammed Gabriel's behaviour on the pitch and labelled his gesture as disrespectful. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking on <a href="https://x.com/SkySports/status/1886399623935168814" target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports</em></a> after the match, Neville said: "I want to mention Gabriel and what he did to Haaland. It happened to me here, actually. Not here, it was at Highbury many, many years ago. Where a player came up and screamed in my face. We actually won the game 4-2 that day. I actually don't like it. I think it's a bit disrespectful. </p><p>"I get the fact that Haaland's sort of Pantomime villain here today, but there's something about it that I didn't like about it. I was many things but I never did that. I never went and screamed in a player's face. I don't know, I just felt there's something about that I thought made me feel a little bit uneasy, a little bit disrespectful."</p>

WHAT NEVILLE SAID

<p>The 27-year-old centre-back will be back in action for Mikel Arteta's side on Wednesday as they take on Newcastle United in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, trailing 2-0 from the first fixture.</p>
