Earlier in the game, Haaland had bellowed "who the f*ck are you?" at Arsenal rookie Lewis-Skelly. During a return match in February, the Gunners claimed a 5-1 victory over City. Home fans at Emirates Stadium goaded Haaland, while Lewis-Skelly was on target and proceeded to break out the Norwegian striker’s iconic lotus celebration.

WHAT HAALAND SAID
The Golden Boot-winning City superstar has no issue with that, telling : "They won the game 5-1. So yeah, they got me. If he wanted to use that moment to mock me, that’s fair enough for him. Whatever he wants to do, he can do."
