Kevin De Bruyne shoved Mikel Arteta as the player tried to recover the ball to take a throw-in.
The Belgian also pointed his finger at the Arsenal boss as he made his way back to the touchline.
Perhaps there was a little confusion between the two, or Arteta was doing his best impression of Diego Simeone.
Arteta does seem to “tackle” the assist master in the 51st minute inside his technical area and kick the ball away.
The incident took place at the beginning of the second half when both teams were level at 1-1. De Bruyne put the away team in front 24 minutes into the opening half, and Saka evened the score with a disputed penalty just before the interval.
The reigning Champions looking to snag three BIG points
Arsenal and Manchester City are battling it out one of the most vital clashes of the Premier League season. It’s certainly been a feisty one, with yellow cards distributed in abundance.
VAR is also doing its part, rescuing Arsenal in the 58th minute as Erling Haaland was ruled offside. But £100 million man Jack ‘Gucci‘ Grealish restored the lead in the 74th minute. The strike is certainly one of the biggest goals of the Englishman’s career.
Haaland scored City’s third goal in the 82nd minute giving the Norwegian striker a remarkable 26 on the season.
The victor of the match is most likely to lift the 22/23 league trophy. A City win puts the defending champions back on top of the table.
