Erling Haaland's dad, Alfie Haaland, hurled a sharp jibe at Arsenal after the Gunners' dominant 5-1 victory over Manchester City.
Despite City star Erling Haaland getting relentlessly taunted by Arsenal during their clash - which saw the London club triumph spectacularly - his father didn't hold back in his reaction to the celebrations.

Gabriel yelled in Haaland's face after Martin Odegaard quickly netted the first goal, while Myles Lewis-Skelly cheekily mimicked Haaland's famed meditation celebration after scoring for the home side.
Adding salt to the wound, Kendrick Lamar's 'Humble' echoed through Emirates Stadium post-match, nodding to Haaland's previous 'Stay Humble' jab at Arsenal.
Arsenal lauded Lewis-Skelly's efforts with an online snap captioned 'This team', but Alfie had a cutting comeback, tweeting: "This Team that wins everything. Ehhhhh, not."
While Haaland managed to draw level for a brief moment in the second half, Arsenal swiftly regained the lead and surged ahead with stunning finishes from Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri.
Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool defender, admitted City just couldn't match up to Arsenal's formidable display, reports the Mirror.
The Sky Sports pundit heaped praise on Arsenal's resilience after their dramatic victory, saying: "Great day for Arsenal. We said before they were still lacking statement results a title winner would have.
"But going down to 10 men against Wolves and winning, and demolishing the champions in a game that looked in the balance. Arsenal looked a completely different team once it got to 2-1. They're going to need that if they're going to wrestle that title back. As soon as the game got faster Man City can't cope with it."
Gunners captain Martin Odegaard couldn't hide his joy with Arsenal's dazzling display, sharing with Sky Sports: "It was a top game and a top performance. With the fans and the atmosphere and the scoresheet like that it can't be better."
City defender John Stones didn't mask his discontent over their defeat, issuing a heartfelt apology to the fans after their game. He said: "It is difficult. I think all of us don't take losing well.
"It is hard to put into words straight after a game like that. Pride hurts. Sorry to the fans that have travelled to come and watch that."
He spoke critically of City's second half showing. Stones said: "How we played in the last 30 minutes was not acceptable. Personally and collectively, it's not us. It is not nice to be involved in that when you know it's not your team in those situations. Credit to Arsenal, this is not an easy place to come to.
"For 65 minutes, we played some great football at times. We were in the game and it was a swinging point. It swung the wrong way for us. I am angry, upset personally and collectively about how the game finished."
