ERLING HAALAND might remember the day he reached 250 club goals in precisely the opposite way he’d like to.

Blame Arsenal for that, with a tireless display of winding-up the Manchester City striker that went far beyond their 5-1 victory.

Haaland bagged a landmark goal – but was almost debagged by Gabriel[/caption]

Such a dire loss was only the final insult for the 24-year-old, who won the Prem title and Golden Boot in his first two seasons at the Etihad.

Haaland‘s “Stay Humble” message for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta last September ignited discontent between certain players at both clubs.

And you didn’t have to read between the lines on Sunday to see who has taken the lead roles.

Arsenal centre-back Gabriel had gone into the match saying: “It’s a battle, a war”.

And judging by his efforts almost every time he came up against the Norwegian, it couldn’t have been more personal.

When Martin Odegaard rammed the Gunners in front after just two minutes, Gabriel roared with joy right in the face of Haaland.

Many viewers were impressed with the calm way the former Borussia Dortmund hero dealt with that – as he virtually ignored the Brazilian.

Myles Lewis-Skelly then showed that Arsenal believe you are never too young to goad the goal GOAT.

The 18-year-old curved in the third goal and sunk to the floor for what fans labelled a a “s***house” Haaland-style celebration.

The defender sat with his arms out and eyes closed – while he was lauded by team-mates standing around him.

Meanwhile, Gabriel continued his series of combative, niggly encounters with Haaland – sometimes appearing to push him away off the ball.

The two exchanged words at one moment, with the forward appearing to smile.

And Gabriel’s worst – or best moment, depending how you look at it, arrived when the Gunners were 4-1 up.

The 27-year-old was on the ground when he reached out to tug down at Haaland’s shorts.

Again the City man – this time quite literally – appeared to take the matter in his stride.

He briefly looked round to see what was happening but carried on walking away.

Unfortunately for Haaland, he could also be seeing the back of his third Prem crown in a row.

City, in fourth are now 15 points adrift of leaders Liverpool.

Some fans reacted to the Gunners merciless treatment of Haaland by telling him: “If you talk the talk you have to walk the walk.”

Another suggested: “The prem has missed something like this.”

And a third said: “As it should be. A defender should rattle strikers and that’s what big Gabby is doing.”

But others praised Haaland for appearing to keep his composure.

Sky Sports posted a clip of a string of incidents involving the 6ft 4ins ace and his man marker, adding the words: “It’s safe to say there was a bit of needle between Haaland and Gabriel today…”

But one fan posted: “Needle from Gabriel, yes. Haaland is an adult.” 

However, the mature performance as a team came from Arsenal, with City gifting the Gunners their opener then collapsing in the last 34 minutes.

Sharing snaps of her late friend, one saw them posing with their first house hunters in Cape Town, while the second saw Jasmine and Jonnie celebrating his 50th birthday.

Jasmine, 49, said: “Dear Jonnie, I miss you. Time goes by too quickly. A year already.

“The hole that you left behind will never be filled. You were (and you still are) an inspiration to so so many people, myself included.”

“Love and thoughts to your wonderful family and amazing friends.”

Commenting on the tribute, one fan said: “Taken way too soon . A pleasure to watch him this weekend on A Place In the Sun re runs. Such a lovely man. Thoughts to his family and friends.”

A second wrote: “A beautiful tribute, Jasmine.”

“Very much missed…will raise a glass for you tonight Jonnie,” said a third.

While a fourth posted: “He was such an inspiration to everyone.”

Jonnie died on 2 February 2024 aged just 50 following a battle with lung cancer.

The presenter had three young children with his widow Jessica Irwin.

Last year it was revealed how Jonnie had passed his entire £953,000 estate to his wife.

His final will was signed in October 2022.

Documents obtained by The Sun show the brave presenter had £956,967 in assets, reduced to £953,425 after deductions were taken.

The will was signed off by a probate court in Newcastle, where he moved from his native Leicestershire.

LOVE Island fans are convinced show bosses told Curtis Pritchard to pick Ekin-Su in the latest recoupling.

For the past few days Curtis had been getting to know new girl Danielle Sellers and it looked like he was going to couple with her.

His reaction afterwards confused just about everyone[/caption]

However, in awkward scenes that shocked every Islander and Ekin herself, Curtis went back for her.

He said: “I am gonna go with my heart and with my gut. The person I am going to couple up with is Ekin.”

After making his decision he then sat gazing up into the sky with teary eyes, attracting curious looks from the other villa stars.

Viewers thought it was all a bit forced and one wrote on X: “The producers 100% told Curtis to pick Ekin.”

Another said: “Curtis asking Ekin if she’s shocked and then visibly, but silently crashing out I front of people is certainly… a choice.”

A third wrote: “Is curtis okay? why does he look like his cat has just died??”

He and Ekin had a heart to hear afterwards in which he turned on the charm.

He said: “I genuinely loved getting to know you and being around you I think you’re beautiful and sexy and have so much about you.

“I didn’t handle the situation of the whole Danielle coming in, I should have said straight away it confused me. I didn’t and said what you wanted to hear and I shouldn’t have done that.”

Ekin told him: “What I have with you overpowers everything.”

After promising to be truthful with each other going forward, they shared a kiss and giggled.

Curtis then sought Danielle for a chat and stumbled through an explanation.

He reiterated his connection with Ekin, but Danielle said he could easily have said he was closed off at any point, but he never did.

LIAM CAHILL says Tipperary are on the “right track” by blooding young players as they rose to the top of Division 1A with a six-point victory over relegation-threatened Wexford.

Darragh McCarthy’s second penalty in two starts secured the spoils as he unleashed an identical finish to his goal against Galway to secure back-to-back Premier wins.

His 1-7 led the way among 12 different Tipp scorers in what ultimately was a mediocre League encounter in front of 5,125 fans at Semple Stadium.

The Tipp boss said: “Darragh McCarthy is very young but he’s a capable player. Big credit to him, at 20-odd years of age, to be able to stand up there on that stage, both last week and again today.

“That’s what you can’t beat, giving players of that age and that potential those opportunities.

“It mightn’t be seen from the stands as anything major now but I guarantee you down the road it’s big because it allows that player to really believe in himself.

“And we’re on the right track with the majority of these younger fellas that are coming through.”

With bigger challenges to come, starting away to Limerick on Sunday, Cahill remains focused on the lessons to be learned for their championship opener against the Munster holders.

He added: “We don’t have to really prove anything to anybody, only ourselves,” he said of their League ambitions.  

“We’re very much aware of arriving towards the end of the League with a good settled team, regardless of where we are in the table.

“The 20^th of April against Limerick is the ultimate target.”

The full-back line proved Tipp’s most impressive combination between Michael Breen, full-back Eoghan Connolly, and Robert Doyle, making his first start.

They didn’t allow Wexford a sniff of goal while outscoring the visiting full-forward line from play. Connolly notched two points from inside his own half and Breen tagged on one more.

Their midfield were also effective with Craig Morgan winning the penalty and Willie Connors matching his three-point haul against the Tribesmen.

Tipp led throughout the first hour without ever burning off the visitors. 

They were 0-12 to 0-8 ahead at half-time having carved out two goal chances. Sticky Wexford defending denied them in both instances as Eoin Ryan hooked Jake Morris and Richie Lawlor hooked Morgan.

Those two met again for the penalty incident as Morgan was taken down by Lawlor. McCarthy stepped up and fired it to that familiar bottom right-hand corner.

Keith Rossiter made five changes from Wexford’s heavy defeat to Cork and will be most pleased with how his young team fought to the very end, tagging on four consecutive points in stoppage time.

Free-taker Cian Byrne finished with 0-7 while debutant Darren Codd and Jack Redmond, on his first start, stood out.

Rossiter said: “The performance last weekend didn’t justify the work the players had put in,”

“It was like a first round of a Walsh Cup type of match from us. We were running over balls, mishandling balls, misplacing passes, not coming off the shoulder, not doing support play. 

“It was like we’d just returned after Christmas. The players themselves weren’t happy and I wasn’t happy. 

“Today was about getting a bit of momentum, getting a bit of fight back into it, supporting each other, getting the handling right, and I think we did that.”

He will hope to get at least one of Lee Chin, Damien Reck, or Cathal Dunbar back on the field for the visit of Kilkenny to Wexford Park on Saturday.

After a losing start, Rossiter isn’t fixated on the relegation battle.

“I’m not worried at all about it. We’re trying to rebuild a squad, find new players, and whatever way the results go, the results go.

“Of course, I want to win every game and I’d be disappointed getting beat but I want performances.”
