A Premier League panel has ruled that Arsenal's Gabriel should have been sent off for headbutting Erling Haaland during a recent match. The incident, where Gabriel appeared to head towards the Manchester City striker, was not deemed worthy of a red card by the referee or VAR at the time. However, the panel voted 3:2 in favor of a red card, citing Gabriel's forward head movement as violent conduct. Despite this, the panel voted 4:1 against a VAR intervention. Had Gabriel been sent off, he would have faced a three-game ban. Haaland commented on the incident, suggesting he could have exaggerated the contact to get Gabriel sent off. Former Manchester United star Gary Neville expressed his surprise that Gabriel remained on the pitch.
