Arsenal beat Manchester City in the Premier League for the first time since 2015 on Sunday.

A deflected goal from Gabriel Martinelli in the 86th minute delivered a 1-0 win for the Gunners, who now sit two points above City in the EPL table.

Highlights: Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

After the game, two City players were caught on camera clashing with Arsenal set-piece coach Nicolas Jover.

Jover - who previously worked for City between 2019 and 2021 - appeared to say something to Kyle Walker while offering the right-back a handshake.

Walker reacted angrily and, after waving his arm in Jover's direction multiple times, approached the German and went head to head with him.

City striker Erling Haaland then arrived on the scene in an apparent attempt to back Walker up, before a swarm of bodies surrounded them.

Walker eventually walked away but was clearly unhappy about something.

City manager Pep Guardiola was asked about the incident in his post-game press conference.

A smiling Guardiola said: "I know what happened but I don't want to say anything. They know."

After then being asked if he was happy with how Arsenal's officials had behaved, Guardiola replied: "Yeah, absolutely."

The Football Association has since reviewed footage of the incident and will be taking no action.
