Erling Haaland was quick to challenge a major decision in Manchester City’s draw against Tottenham on Sunday, posting a video again minutes after the match ended.
The Norwegian striker was left furious at the end of a thrilling match at the Etihad Stadium, which ended in a draw. Dejan Kulusevski scored a last-minute equalizer for Tottenham, making the final result 3-3, but there was plenty else to talk about.

One of them was generated by an incident in the fourth minute of added time, Jack Grealish appearing to rush towards goal in an attempt to snatch victory. Referee Simon Hooper appeared to have stopped play following a foul on Haaland, but then reverted to the original infraction.
City didn’t take kindly to the decision, with Haaland one of those who lashed out at the match referee. The 23-year-old appears to have made his point from the locker room, having just left the tunnel.
Haaland’s father, former City midfielder Alf Inge, responded to his son’s post with a “terrible” assessment of the decision in question. Pep Guardiola’s side must now regain their composure in time to face Aston Villa in midweek, a match they will enter sitting in third place in the Premier League table, three points behind leaders Arsenal.
