JAKARTA - An embarrassing incident by Manchester City players who looked disappointed with the team's defeat in the big match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, Sunday, October 8 evening WIB. Defender Kyle Walker made a fuss with assistant manager Arsenal Nicolas Jover.

The 1-0 defeat to Arsenal has indeed frustrated Man City. How not, the team with the status of defending champions seemed unable to accept the fact that they suffered two consecutive defeats.

In that big match, Arsenal beat Man City for the first time in five years through Gabriel Martinelli's goal. This is Man City's second defeat because previously, they were forced to surrender 2-1 by Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The bad result made Man City downgrade. Not half-hearted, Man City are in third place with 18 points.

Left behind by two points with the North London duo, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. Tottenham perched at the top after a 1-0 win over Luton Town.

The defeat also disappointed and frustrated Man City's players. When he left the field, Walker was greeted and invited to shake hands with Jover. Arsenal's assistant manager was indeed part of Man City's coaching staff in 2019-2021.

Only Walker, who was in high tension, even dismissed Jover. Not only that, Walker had a chance to make a fuss with Jover who is now Mikel Arteta's assistant manager.

Striker Erling Haaland tried to separate them. Not long after, the officers joined in breaking up the fight between the two. However, Walker still looked annoyed as she walked into the dressing room.

Man City manager Pep Guardiola claimed to know about the incident. But he refused to comment on the commotion of his players.

"I know what happened. But I don't want to say anything. They know what happened," said Guardiola.

Meanwhile, former Man City player Micah Richards said that Jodir seemed to want to invite Walker to shake hands. But the England national team defender refused.

"It looks like he's inviting Islam but Kyle rejects it. I understand players are frustrated. The reason is they don't want to lose this game. However, this is not the end of everything," said Richards.
