Erling Haaland was seen fuming towards the end of Manchester City's 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday – here is what happened!

The Norwegian raged as he stormed off the field after the Citizens dropped two points on the weekend, but only after yelling in the face of referee Simon Hooper in the dying minutes of the encounter.
Haaland became infuriated when the match official blew the whistle for a free-kick for a foul on him after initially playing advantage, which the 23-year-old used to play a clever pass in behind Spurs' defence to put Jack Grealish through on goal.
Hooper then stunned the home crowd when he pulled the play back, leading to a seemingly foul-mouthed rant from the ex-Borussia Dortmund striker.
The 2023 Ballon d'Or runner up later took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to write "wtf" in response to a video breaking down Hooper's controversial call.

Speaking after the game, head coach Pep Guardiola admitted he understood Haaland's reaction.
"Normal. He is a little bit disappointed. Even the referee, if he played for City today, would be disappointed with that action!" he said, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane appeared to side with his former rivals when touching on the incident.
"I think obviously the referee's made a mistake," he stated, according to The Standard.
"It's a poor call, he's got it wrong, obviously Jack is through on goal, for some reason he blows the whistle. He's got that wrong, we can all see that."
