Erling Haaland has stated that he had no regrets for tossing a ball at Gabriel Magalhaes’ head after Manchester City’s thrilling draw with Arsenal last month.
John Stones’ stoppage-time equaliser gave the hosts a point in an ill-tempered Premier League battle at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland then scooped up the ball and tossed it at Arsenal defender Gabriel, striking him in the dome in an unusual occurrence.

According to The Independent, the Norwegian, however, says that he would not change anything about the clash.
“It was in the heat of the match, and a little bit of everything happened in that match,” the striker said before of Norway’s Nations League game against Slovenia.
“What happens on the football pitch, stays on the football pitch.” That’s how it is. “I don’t regret anything in my life.”
Haaland also spoke with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and attacker Gabriel Jesus as the two championship rivals resumed hostilities.
The two clubs started the October international break one point behind league leaders Liverpool, and they will meet again at the Emirates Stadium on February 1 in a potentially critical match.
When asked about his post-match argument with Haaland, Arteta stated after the draw at the Etihad Stadium: “It was a really emotional game, but they all are in various ways. It’s part of football and sport, and we’ll move on after the game.”
