Erling Haaland was furious immediately after Manchester City’s 3-3 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. The Norwegian striker was not only upset about a controversial decision by referee Simon Hooper, but also clashed with Spurs midfielder Giovani Lo Celso on the way to the dressing room.
After City conceded the 3-3 through Dejan Kulusevski in stoppage time, Jack Grealish ran alone towards the London goal. After a foul on Haaland, Hooper initially decided to take advantage, only to then whistle the scene away. Haaland and his teammates were already complaining on the pitch, and the former BVB star also criticized the referee afterwards via social media.
As Haaland stalked off the field, Lo Celso, substitute goalscorer to make the score 2-2, ran towards him. Neither wanted to give the other any space and So there was inevitably some jostling. Haaland turned around and exchanged words with the Argentine. A pack formed because several actors intervened to prevent the situation from escalating. Haaland finally turned around and angrily walked into the catacombs.
The draw saw City drop to third place in the Premier League table. The defending champions are now three points behind leaders Arsenal FC. In between is Liverpool FC, who won a spectacular game against Fulham FC 4-3 and has now collected one point more than the Citizens.
An unpleasant away game awaits Haaland and his teammates on Wednesday evening: Then ManCity will face fourth-placed Aston Villa in another league game.
