Haaland Throwing The Ball At Gabriel’s Head Was A Coward Move – Ian Wright

Arsenal legend, Ian Wright has come out to blast Erling Haaland after the Manchester City striker threw the ball at Gabriel’s head once his side equalized vs Arsenal. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it was a proper coward move from Haaland at the Etihad because he threw the ball on Gabriel when he was not looking.

Wright added that he is very disappointed because he thought Erling was bigger than that.

His words, “What really boiled me up properly was Haaland’s coward’s move.

Throwing the ball at Gabi’s head when he’s not looking. When Gabi’s back’s turned to him. Real coward’s move. Gabi would look him in the eye, you know.

I’m looking at this as a really good defender versus striker for the years to come. I love watching them two, and then you’re doing a coward’s move like that?

That’s what bothered me more than anything else. I thought you [Haaland] were bigger than that, bro.”

WOW.
