Guardiola shies away from giving details of the Emirate’s fracas that involves Walker and Haaland

Tensions boiled over at full-time at the Emirates as Erling Haaland and Kyle Walker were among the City players involved in a clash at the tunnel while walking off.

Haaland could be seen being held back by City staff, while Kyle Walker was kept away from Arsenal personnel by security officials.

It appeared that both Haaland and Walker were unhappy with something that was said to them by a member of Arsenal's backroom team as they walked off the pitch. The Gunners' set piece coach Nicolas Jover, who previously worked for City, appeared to be in the middle of it.

City coach Pep  Guardiola said of the misunderstanding "I know what happened but I don't want to say anything. They know it."

Quizzed if he was happy with Arsenal's conduct, he replied: "Yeah, absolutely."

And it appeared that Haaland and Walker were caught up in a furious altercation with some members of the hosts' coaching staff as they made their way to the tunnel.

Footage showed there were arguments and some pushing between the Norway international and the North Londoners' set-piece coach Nicolas Jover, who used to work for the Citizens.

The incident took place by the tunnel and Walker played peacemaker between his team-mate and Jover.

It was a tense afternoon for both sides during a tight game where the defence

was the winner.

Haaland, himself, was pretty anonymous throughout the match.

Arsenal defender William Saliba kept the star striker quiet with some exceptional marking.

In fact, the Norwegian didn't register a single shot on or off target throughout the match.

The defeat was Man City's second consecutive loss in the Premier League, following their defeat to Wolves.

Bernardo Silva said after the game: "It’s a setback, but it’s still the beginning. We’re far away from the end of the season. Against a top opponent at the Emirates, it’s never easy to play.

"The game was tough for both teams, it could have gone either way. It was decided in detail, by a deflection. In my opinion, we gave them too much time to think and put the ball in behind.

"We have to be a bit more intense in the way we press in those moments. It is what it is; it’s part of football.

"Last season we won the Treble, and there was a point in the season when nothing was going our way. You have these moments. It’s the way you overcome them that defines what you are and who you are."
