Manchester City and Arsenal’s epic Premier League encounter last weekend delivered plenty of talking points.

Arsenal were accused of employing the dark arts, while Erling Haaland clashed with the Gunners camp.

Pep Guardiola has fired back at Mikel Arteta and the Gunners, declaring “war” ahead of another mouth-watering Premier League title race.

The two rivals played out a pulsating 2-2 draw on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, but it was filled with drama after John Stones salvaged a draw late in the match.

Ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash against Leicester City, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta made an ambiguous comment that seems to have irked Guardiola.

“I was there for four years. I have all the information. So I know. Believe me,” Arteta said when asked about Arsenal’s use of the dark arts via Manchester Evening News.

Guardiola responded to his former colleague.

“Next time he has to be more clear exactly what does it mean,” he said.

The Man City boss also fired back at Arsenal defender Gabriel, who said it was a “war” when Erling Haaland threw the ball on his head, per GOAL.

“You want a war? Now we war. So, what do I have to do? And after the motion, try the motion. I’m pretty sure he’s not proud, but listen. The type of challenge that Arsenal challenges, I understand it.”

The two sides face each other again in February, and that encounter will definitely serve up another classic.
