    New footage emerges showing Ben White ‘laughing at raging Jack Grealish’ during bust-up after Arsenal vs Man City

    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.
    Jack Grealish clashed with someone connected to Arsenal
    Ben White found the altercation amusing and had to hold in his laughter
    Grealish was scored away from the bust-up and down 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.

    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.

    Wolves boss Gary O’Neil explains reasons behind furious touchline bust-up with Unai Emery over missed handshake

    GARY O’NEIL has dismissed claims of a bust-up with Unai Emery after the two refused to shake hands.Wolves and Aston Villa couldn’t be separated on Sunday as Pau Torres cancelled out Hwang Hee-chan’s opener.

    Wolves star Mario Lemina saw red late on for two yellow card offences in a heated derby game.
    And the action spilled over onto the sidelines as the benches clashed before bosses O’Neil and Emery shunned the usual post-match pleasantries.
    O’Neil, however, insists there was no issue with his Spanish rival.
    Asked about the incident, he explained: “It was a lot of nothing, I was moaning at the fourth [official] about playing 114 minutes and Unai didn’t want to wait for the handshake so he went to walk down the tunnel. I just said: ‘No problem, go down the tunnel’.

    “I’ve waited ages for people (managers in the past), I understand that they want to talk with the fourth official.
    “My conversation with the fourth official was about eight seconds long so he wouldn’t have had to wait very long. But I understand if he doesn’t want to, no problem. I’ve got no problem with Unai at all.
    “I thought we edged it 11 v 11, apart from the start but a point is fairish I’d suggest. We looked comfortable, there wasn’t a huge gap between the sides.
    “Eight points is not a bad return, we’re managing to score goals and trying to improve.”

    The derby draw allowed Wolves to extend their unbeaten record against Villa to six games in the Premier League.
    Villa will no doubt be disappointed with the result as victory would have taken them into the top four after an impressive start to the season.
    The result was a positive one for Wolves, allowing them to build on the good result last time out with a 2-1 win against City.
    Unai Emery said after the game : “It’s a derby and we felt it on the pitch. There are a lot of supporters with us, they are pushing, it was a great atmosphere.”
    He also closed his post-game interview by saying that the non-handshake with O’Neil was “nothing”. More

    “In the warm-up I looked around and I was like, the other teams aren’t here so they have to be cheering for us.

    West Ham fans fume that ‘ref’s had a mare’ after spotting what Alexander Isak did before scoring for Newcastle

    WEST HAM fans fumed after spotting what Alexander Isak did before scoring his second goal on Sunday.Isak’s strike looked to be the winner for Newcastle until Mohammed Kudus netted a dramatic 89th-minute equaliser.

    Replays showed Isak with two hands on Aguerd’s back
    The defender was nowhere near the ball by the time Isak tapped home
    But replays on Match Of The Day highlighted a push from Isak on Nayef Aguerd before the Newcastle man tapped the ball in.
    One West Ham fan tweeted: “And how isn’t this a foul…? Aguerd clearly gets pushed in the back by Isak for the goal. Another p**s poor decision yesterday ffs.”
    Another wrote: “I thought this was poor defending from Aguerd at the time, but now seeing this it’s hard to blame him.
    “Isak has pushed him out the way with both hands, according to the rule book now that’s a foul.”

    And a third wrote: “There is a clear foul there, Isak on Aguerd for Newcastle’s second goal, why didn’t VAR pick that up, a clear shove with both hands.”
    But not everyone was convinced that the contact was significant enough to be called as a foul, particularly with the supposed high bar VAR has for intervening in goals scored.
    One fan wrote: “Isak might have made contact with Aguerd’s back but it’s not enough for it to be ruled out whatsoever.”
    And a West Ham fan replied to the tweet saying: “Poor defending yet again from Aguerd” alongside a nonplussed shrugging emoji.

    Gary Neville makes Man Utd U-turn on season prediction with damning assessment of Erik ten Hag’s side’s start

    GARY NEVILLE has made a U-turn on his season prediction for Manchester United after their sluggish start.The Red Devils legend has now predicted that Erik ten Hag’s men will not come close to finishing in the top five this season.

    United currently sit tenth in the Premier League after a remarkable comeback against Brentford on Saturday afternoon helped them scoop three precious points.
    Scott McTominay saved the day for the Red Devils, snatching the win in injury time with two remarkable goals.
    But prior to that victory, United have struggled with four wins from eight league matches – and two defeats in the Champions League.
    United’s poor performance has left Neville, 48, tracking back on his words after pledging at the start of the season that the Red Devils would make the top three.

    Speaking on his podcast Neville said: “I don’t think Manchester United will finish in the top five this season.
    “I think they are way off it. And I’m surprised because seven or eight weeks ago, I had them third.
    “But honestly from what I see at the moment, I don’t think the goalkeeper is settled in, I think he should have saved the one yesterday so that is a problem.
    “If your goalkeeper is not settled in and there is a bit of instability around that, it does create a big problem. I’ve had that at United. So United, not for me.”

    Ex-Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana was shunned by Neville after being signed from Inter Milan in the summer for £47million.
    The Cameroonian has come in for heavy criticism since his arrival. His attempt to stop Brentford’s goal on Saturday brought fresh attacks, with it being seen as easily avoided by many.
    This came only days after Onana was slammed for his slip-ups in United’s Champions League defeat to Galatasaray on Tuesday night.
    Neville added: “Chelsea, I think are probably nearer to it if they can go on a run because they have got some really good young talented players. Their age is a lot better than United’s squad.”
    The Blues youthful squad looks more like turning it around this season after their dreadful start. Chelsea have won three games out of eight and sit just one point below United.
    Ten Hag’s squad has an average age of 25.6. Meanwhile, Chelsea recruited youngsters Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Cole Palmer this summer, making their squad average the age of 23.1. More
