Manchester City equalized against Tottenham in a match that had some controversial actions that caught the attention of many footballers. Among them, Erling Haaland, who was very upset with the referee's decisions. This led to arguments with other footballers such as Lo Celso, with whom he pushed himself at the end of the match.

 

The entire City team ended up very hot with referee Simon Hooper because when everything was tied at three, he cut off a very clear play when he was leaving alone due to a previous foul committed on Haaland behind the middle of the field. Those from Manchester claimed that the law should have granted the advantage, but the judge had already sanctioned the infraction.

The tie did not move and both were left with one point. Haaland seemed angry and when he was leaving the field, visibly upset, he collided with Lo Celso, who was already with the champion since he had left with 12 minutes left. In the second half, Tottenham settled into the field and was able to neutralize the home team's sharp performance. So much so, that at 68' Son combined with Lo Celso at the door of the rival area and the Rosario player opened his foot so that the match was tied once again: it was a partial 2-2. In this way, the 2021 Copa América champion achieved his second consecutive goal in the Premier League, given that he also celebrated against Aston Villa last night.

 

Guardiola's reaction at the end of the match and the fight

Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland's full-time reaction: "Normal. He is a little bit disappointed. Even the referee, if he played for Manchester City today, would be disappointed with that action..." "The master of commander Anthony Taylor [fourth officer], who knows everything in this business, and he didn't tell me anything..."
