VAR cheated Manchester City again: How is that not a Red Card 😱😱 Watch how Erling Haaland was Tackled by Dan Burn– PGMOL explained why it not red – Not fair for England Referees as they seem to be favouring other clubs to win the trophy
Erling Haaland seemed to be walking out of St James’ Park after Saturday’s 1-1 midday draw against Newcastle United, adding another injury concern for Manchester City in their championship fight with Arsenal.
In the upcoming days, Pep Guardiola will evaluate his striker, who has received “some hits,” according to the manager. Despite managing to play the entire 90 minutes, Haaland suffered a cut heel for the most of the game following a collision with Dan Burn in the first half.
After full time, the superstar from Norway was spotted staggering out of the changing area, raising questions about his condition. After the match, when asked how he was doing, Guardiola replied, “He has some knocks, we will see the following days.”
This new concern follows Rodri’s announcement on Friday that he will miss the whole season due to a cruciate ligament injury that he sustained 21 minutes into last Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal. As a result, City was unable to use their whole bench against Newcastle.
Ten-goal Haaland missed 14 games last season due to injury, so any more absences would lessen Man City’s offensive threat and unintentionally help Arsenal, who are presently leading the league without injured captain Martin Odegaard.
Following their match last weekend, a strong rivalry has emerged between the two teams. This week, after being chastised by Arsenal for their gamesmanship in Manchester, Guardiola was incensed by Mikel Arteta’s remarks implying that Man City was not beyond using “black arts.”
“I have been there before, I was there for four years,” the Gunners manager had stated. “Every detail is in my possession. I am aware of this. Trust me.
Guardiola responded to the remarks on Friday, saying, “Mikel needs to be more explicit the next time. He is able to precisely explain his statement that he was present by saying, “I know what is going here.” And, to be more exact, there rather than in the clouds.
