Erling Haaland’s behavior towards referee in Tottenham game leads to charges for Manchester City

Manchester City has been charged by the FA for failing to control their players after their match against Tottenham Hotspur. The players were not happy with the referee’s decision to pull back play just when Jack Grealish was through on goal with a chance to score the winner. The FA has announced that the club will be charged for failing to stop their players from surrounding and berating the match official. The players have three days to respond to the charge.

Erling Haaland, who led the protests, took to social media to express his frustration, but he has avoided any sanction. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola refrained from criticizing the referees, choosing not to “do a Mikel Arteta comment.”

Former players Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher criticized the referee’s decision, with Micah Richards adding that the referee had a “brilliant game today until this moment.” Overall, despite the controversy, Guardiola highlighted the team’s good performance and their desire to stay at the top of the table.
