The incident took place at precisely the same time as the final whistle blew on a tense match that Arsenal ultimately won 1-0.
In the 85th minute, Gabriel Martinelli scored the game-winning goal with a deflected shot that caught Ederson, the goalkeeper for City, off guard.
That was more than enough to send the Emirates into raptures, and the atmosphere stayed electrifying both on and off the field in the hours after the game was over.
Sky Sports cameras caught Walker and Haaland being swarmed by referees and a member of the Arsenal coaching staff as the two teams retreated to their respective tunnels following the conclusion of the match.
Later footage revealed that the England international had a face-to-face confrontation with the set piece coach for Arsenal, Nicolas Jover, who had previously worked for City.
After that, Haaland approached them and supported his teammate, but the incident was eventually broken up, and both players were led away.
Jover was spotted pointing his finger in the direction of Arsenal player Bukayo Saka, who had been hurt and was unable to participate in the game.
It is not known what precipitated the first argument that Walker had with the set piece coach.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of City, declined to answer any questions on the incident when he faced the media after the match.
He went on to clarify, “I am aware of what took place, but I do not wish to discuss it.” They are conscious of the situation.”

As a result of the win by a score of 1-0, Arsenal is now in second position, tied on points with the team in first place, Tottenham, but trailing them in goal differential going into the international break.
In the meantime, City has suffered two straight defeats in the Premier League, and Guardiola’s squad fell to Wolves by a score of 2-1 at Molineux on Saturday. This caused City to fall to third position in the standings.
