The Norwegian scorer attacked the referee furiously and after the duel he published a video of the controversial action on social media accompanied by the mention WTF (‘What the fuck’, in English; ‘What the fuck is this’, in Spanish).
“He’s a little disappointed. Even the referee, if he had played for Manchester City today he would be,” said Citizens coach Pep Guardiola, adding that he too had been surprised by Cooper’s decision.
