Altercation: Man City captain Walker confronts ref Oliver during halftime of Arsenal draw

The game was embroiled in controversy, as City disputed Arsenal's equalizer, arguing that the referee had not signaled for the free kick to be taken.

The Gunners were later furious as Leandro Trossard collected a second yellow card for a slightly rough push on Bernardo Silva.

BBC Sport reporter Simon Stone wrote on X: "Kyle Walker making his point to Michael Oliver in the tunnel at half-time."

A fan explained the situation on X, stating: "TV replays have shown Michael Oliver called Kyle Walker over to speak after Arsenal were awarded a free-kick.

"The referee waited momentarily after the conversation, before restarting play, while Kyle Walker was not yet in position when Gabriel Martinelli was on."
