Watch the event in the player above.
Manchester City went on to drop a point at home to Tottenham after a late equalizer by Dejan Kulusevski. But Erling Haaland found Jack Grealish on a counterattack in the 94th minute and thought the Englishman had a chance to score the winning goal.
Then the head referee Simon Hooper suddenly blew the game off for a free kick.
It was not appreciated by the City players who immediately swarmed Hooper. The angriest was Erling Haaland.
– They wonder “how can you blow in that situation?”, says Viaplay’s commentator Henrik Strömblad.
– I understand that they are upset, of course he has to wait for that advantage. It is an extremely poor understanding of the game, says Viaplay’s expert Martin Åslund.
After the match, City manager Pep Guardiola was also annoyed by the incident.
– The referee first shows an advantage, then he blows the whistle after the pass. I don’t understand, he said according to Sky Sports.
