Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland, has taken to Twitter after referee Simon Hooper failed to play advantage against Spurs.
The Norwegian international was visibly furious after Simon Hooper failed to play advantage to Manchester City as Jack Grealish was bearing in on goal.
Haaland was tripped by Emerson Royal on the halfway line, but the Manchester City striker got up and played Grealish through.
The Etihad rose to its feet as the England star looked to be in on goal, however, after appearing to play the advantage initially – the referee called the match back for a foul.
Hooper was instantly surrounded by City players and boos descended around the stadium, the match ended 3-3, making the decision even more crucial.
After the match, Haaland stormed straight down the tunnel and instantly posted on Twitter – replying to a video of the incident with ‘Wtf’.

The refereeing in the Premier League has faced scrutiny all season, as VAR continues to make the headlines for a variety of errors.
Spurs were in one of the biggest controversies of the season in their home fixture against Liverpool, after Luis Diaz’s goal was wrongfully ruled out for offside – despite a VAR check.
Their north London rivals, Arsenal, were also in huge controversy after their 1-0 defeat to Newcastle – with many believing Anthony Gordon’s goal should have been ruled out.
Haaland may face a punishment following his post on Twitter (X), as the Premier League have not taken too kindly to post-match comments in the past.
