FOOTAGE has emerged which appears to show Ben White laughing at Jack Grealish following a melee at the end of Arsenal’s win over Manchester City.
Several City stars were involved in tussles with the home bench as they made their way towards the tunnel.
Grealish, who was an unused substitute, was involved in an altercation with Gunners players and staff and had to be dragged away by security personnel.
White, 26, appeared to laugh in reaction to Grealish’s behaviour as the incensed England winger headed down the tunnel.
It was not entirely clear what tickled the defender, but he clearly found something amusing and could not help but snigger to himself as the situation unfolded.
It is not the first time Grealish, 28, has clashed with an Arsenal star, having gone face-to-face with Thomas Partey and grabbing him by the collar during City’s 4-1 win over Mikel Arteta’s side in April.

City fans are hopeful the bust-up will provide extra motivation for their side when Arsenal visit the Etihad later this season.
One supporter said: “This is gonna backfire so bad lmao we got the hunger we needed.”
Another added: “They just gave City motivation for zero reason 😔
Grealish’s team-mates Kyle Walker and Erling Haaland were also involved in a falling out with their Arsenal counterparts.

Gunners coach Nicolas Jover enraged the duo as they were walking off at The Emirates, a little after Gabriel Martinelli’s 86th-minute winner earned Mikel Arteta his first-ever win over City.
Jover, who joined the club from City in July 2021, said something in the direction of the City bench which enraged Walker, who stormed over to confront Jover supported by Haaland.
A number of City staff and coaches then piled in before Arsenal’s security staff split the two camps and ushered Walker and Haaland down the tunnel – both still clearly upset.
