Furious Kevin De Bruyne shoves Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta during touchline fracas

A furious Kevin De Bruyne angrily shoved Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta after the Spaniard tried to kick the ball away from him during the meeting of the Premier League's top two on Wednesday night.

Manchester City had won a throw after Gabriel put the ball out of play around five minutes into the second-half. With the scores level, Arteta attempted to slow down City's desire to restart the game quickly as the ball rolled near him. De Bruyne jogged over to get the ball, but Arteta shielded it with his body and flicked it away. City star De Bruyne went to kick the ball but caught Arteta's shins instead and then shoved Arteta away in frustration.

As he then walked back with the ball, De Bruyne put his finger in Arteta's face as a way to tell off the Arsenal boss. Granit Xhaka then ran over to remonstrate with De Bruyne for pushing his manager.
