FANS are convinced they know what Erling Haaland said to Gabriel while the Manchester City star was relentlessly taunted by Arsenal.

Haaland is hated by Arsenal after his “stay humble” dig ignited a feud at the end of their last meeting.
Mikel Arteta’s side got their own back by continuously trying to get under his skin, with main perpetrator Gabriel, Myles Lewis-Skelly and even the stadium DJ all part of the goading onslaught.
Despite constantly being a target, Haaland did not react besides one moment in the second-half.
The Norwegian exchanged words with Gabriel and then flexed the gold Premier League badge on the sleeve of the champions’ shirt.
Lip-reading fans are certain Haaland said: “You’d love this, eh?”
City will not make it five titles in a row as they are now a huge 15 points off the top of the table.
But Arsenal’s 20-year wait for glory may also go on if they cannot overturn a six-point deficit on Liverpool.
But getting one over on Haaland was something to celebrate in itself, with the daggers drawn before yesterday’s game even begun when Gabriel said: “It’s a battle, a war”.

Gabriel celebrated Arsenal’s first under Haaland’s nose
When Martin Odegaard opened the scoring the Arsenal centre-back shouted in Haaland’s face to celebrate.
Gabriel, who was in Haaland’s ear all game, then grabbed his shorts as he sat on the ground after a foul.
Arsenal’s DJ blasted out the song “Humble” by Kendrick Lamar at full-time.
Meanwhile, Gunners fans chanted: “Erling Haaland, stay humble you c***.”
At the end of the game, the unmoved goal machine walked over to applaud the City fans, again pointing to the golden Prem badge and his mind.
Arteta has encouraged his players to stop their antics, saying: “Leave anything that happened that’s part of the game on the pitch.
“I have been in football a long time. Just leave it. There is nothing there to do.”
But it did not stop Lewis-Skelly posting a picture of his Haaland-like celebration with the words: “Keep it humble.”
His dad Alfie responded to a picture of the Arsenal teenager, writing: “This team that wins everything. Ehhhhh, not.”
Arsenal player ratings vs Man City
ARSENAL stunned Man City 5-1 at the Emirates on Sunday evening.
It was an incredible result against their rivals of recent years.
Here, we take a look at how the Gunners rated…
David Raya – 7/10 Had very little to do in the first half but made a brilliant save in the 22nd minute to deny a goalbound header from Josko Gvardiol. Made another stunning save two minutes from the half-time interval, stopping a deflected Savinho shot from close range. Powerless to stop Erling Haaland’s 55th-minute header from briefly levelling the scores.
Jurrien Timber – 6 Didn’t offer his usual attacking threat going forward but was solid defensively. Picked up a pointless yellow breaking up a harmless counter-attack in the 24th minute. Almost scored late in the second half.
William Saliba – 5 Didn’t have much to do in the first half but won all his aerial battles in the first 45 minutes. Marshalled the defence well early in the second period but was embarrassingly outjumped and outmuscled by Haaland for City’s equaliser – a major flaw of his that continues to be exposed.
Gabriel Magalhaes – 6 Like his defensive partner, he was seldom called into action in the first half. Dominant in the air in his battles with Haaland, who he trolled after Odegaard’s goal.
Myles Lewis-Skelly – 8 Continues to endear himself to the Emirates faithful with composure and tenacity beyond his years as he brilliantly floated between left back and midfield. Put real daylight between the two sides with a thumping finish just after the hour mark. This young lad is a real bright prospect for both the Gunners and England. His trolling of Haaland by copying the Norwegian’s ‘Lotus’ celebration went down a storm with fans.
Thomas Partey – 7 Steady in the heart of midfield and broke up play well when required. Fired the Gunners back into the lead in the 57th minute with a deflected shot from outside the box.
Martin Odegaard – 7 Was in the right place at the right time to benefit from the aftermath of an uncharacteristic Manuel Akanji error and break the deadlock. Was at the heart of everything good the north Londoners did going forward.
Declan Rice – 6 Combative, as always, in the middle of the park and played a role in the home side taking the lead, teeing up Havertz who squared the ball to Odegaard.
Leandro Trossard – 6 Was particularly lively on the left in the first half, giving Matheus Nunes a real run for his money. His end product, however, wasn’t the best.
Gabriel Martinelli – 6 Lively on the right wing in the early goings. Found the back of the net in the fifth minute after some beautiful play from Odegaard but was needlessly offside. Forced a good save out of Ortega with a rasping effort in the 68th minute.
Kai Havertz – 6 Lively early doors, testing Stefan Ortega with a tame shot in the first minute. Teed up Odegaard for a tap in a few moments later. Missed a golden opportunity to double the lead in the 25th minute, dragging the ball wide with the goal at his absolute mercy. Made amends for his howler by finishing an even harder chance in the 76th minute. He well and truly needed that as he looked absolutely devoid of confidence.
SUBS
Ethan Nwaneri – 83 (on for Trossard) – 7 Put the cherry on top of the cake with an outrageous effort in second-half stoppage time.

DRIVERS have been hit with rush hour chaos this morning as the M6 shuts down three of four lanes after a crash.
Bumper-to-bumper traffic was sparked after a collision on the M6 Northbound between junctions 31 Preston and 31A Ribbleton.
Three lanes have been closed on the M6 Northbound between junctions 31 and 31A
Lanes one, two and three have since been closed off and will remain shut “for some time”, according to cops.

JACK CONAN is keeping quiet on what Leinster’s Springboks are calling Ireland’s bench press — but he believes it can lift the team to another level.
Jack Conan revealed he nickname that has been given to the Ireland bomb squadSam Barnes/SportsfileJack Conan and fellow subs Dan Sheehan, Robbie Henshaw, and Jack Crowley all made an impactRamsey Cardy/Sportsfile
It is not quite South Africa’s ‘Bomb Squad’, as the Boks often unleash six or seven forwards at the same time.
But it proved just as explosive for England, whose head coach Steve Borthwick acknowledged that Ireland’s replacements won the match.
And Conan admits that Leinster’s South African coach Jacques Nienaber and second row RG Snyman have been suggesting a nickname for the bench press.
He said: “I don’t know what we were calling it at Leinster. There was a different name for it but it was not a bomb squad.
“RG and Jacques were driving that one and I can’t remember what it was called. It’s slipped my mind at the moment but maybe it’s not PG enough to say!
“Modern-day rugby is never just about the 15. It’s about the 23 and even the lads who aren’t playing. They are putting us under savage pressure.
“I’d carry the water if I felt I could make a difference for the team. I’m glad I got a decent stint of 30 minutes.
“When you’re coming off the bench, you want an opportunity to make an impact.”
But Conan — making his first Ireland appearance since last March, having picked up a calf injury in pre-season — admitted that he hopes his cameo can earn him a starting slot next week against Scotland.
He said: “You always want to be starting, It’s not ego but you want to have as much of an effect as you can. I’m probably guilty of being decent off the bench so I kind of fit that mould well.
“But when I retire, I won’t look back and say I had 20 starts and 30 off the bench. It won’t matter.
“It’s about just wearing the jersey, having those memories and winning things.
“I am fortunate enough to have won — and lost — a lot of things in my career at international and club level.”
But Saturday was special for another reason, as Conan’s seven-month old daughter Remi was in attendance at an Ireland game for the first time.
She was born last July, meaning Conan missed last summer’s tour to South Africa.
But last week’s training camp in Portugal was the first time he was away from her.
The No 8 said: “It was a long week in Portugal without her.
“She’s only seven months old, but I feel like I’ve come back and she’s gained weight, stretched out and is babbling more.
“It was her first Ireland game, so it’s huge.
“It’s something I always thought about and it’s something I loved when I was younger with other lads having their kids there.
“And to finally have that be me and have my daughter there was incredible.
“She’s gone to two Leinster games and I got injured in both of them and came off early. Luckily she’s started off well in the green jersey!”
