Erling Haaland did not have his best Sunday after the disagreement between City and Tottenham. The Norwegian’s fury exploded in the final stretch when referee Hooper annulled a key play. Grealish was left alone against Vicario, but Hooper signaled the advantage, whistling when the ball reached the English attacker. Haaland, who provided the pass and was fouled, couldn’t believe it.
The Norwegian’s reaction was instantaneous, as this play could have meant 4-3 in a chaotic match. After the final whistle, the cameras caught Haaland completely out of it.
On his X account, the scorer published his disbelief along with the video of the play. “Wtf”wrote.
Guardiola did not remain silent: “El ‘master of commander’ Anthony Taylor [cuarto árbitro hoy] who knows everything in this business, and he didn’t tell me anything…”the Spanish coach began by saying.

Remembering Arteta, he added: “Next question. I won’t make any comments like Arteta’s (he criticized referees in the recent past, ed.). It’s difficult when you look at the image, the referee decides to whistle after having said let’s continue. After the pass, the whistle, I don’t understand…”.
—The good thing is that you are not one of those who gets angry about football…

Addressing Haaland’s reaction, he defended his player: “It is normal. He’s a little disappointed. Even the referee, if he were playing for Manchester City today, would be disappointed with that action…” But he softened his initial words: “I don’t want to criticize them. [a los árbitros, ed.]. Sometimes in the band I lose my mind, but here I don’t like to comment. We don’t tie because of that…”.
