Kevin De Bruyne may have had a run-in with familiar face Mikel Arteta on Wednesday night, but the Belgian clearly holds the Arsenal boss in high regard.
The incident occurred during the second half of the Gunners' meeting with title rivals Manchester City at the Emirates on Wednesday night. The stakes were high considering it was a first versus second clash that saw Pep Guardiola's side leapfrog Arsenal into top-spot with a 3-1 win in north London.
While the game was evenly poised at 1-1, the tension inside the stadium was palpable and that seemed to translate both on the pitch and in the respective dug-outs. Arteta is often a fiery character in his technical area, but it was De Bruyne who let his temper get the better of him this time.
