Ellin Haaland expressed his anger towards referee Simon Hooper after Manchester City drew 3-3 with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday and expressed his feelings on social media

Ellin Haaland questioned Simon Hooper's decision to stop playing in Manchester City's 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

When Haaland was fouled in his own half, the referee controversially refused to give Manchester City an advantage. The Norwegian stood up again, and before Hooper blew the whistle, Jack Grealish shot, which made Guardiola's players furious.

After the final whistle, Harland was found shouting in Hooper's direction and immediately complaining on social media. This forward forwarded a video clip of the incident on X with the caption "WTF". This abbreviation represents "What the f *".

Sky Sports commentators Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher attempted to understand Hooper's decision to withdraw from the game due to a foul on Harland, but failed to do so. The replay showed that Hooper only blew his whistle after Glalish's clean shot.

PGMOL is the body responsible for referees in the English Premier League and is now facing enormous pressure to explain Hooper's behavior. Manchester City coach Guardiola refused to comment on the incident in a post match interview, insisting that he "will not comment on Mikel Arteta.".

"I don't understand," confused Richards told Sky Sports while analyzing Hooper's controversial decision. The referee played a wonderful game until this moment. He put the whistle to his mouth, stopped, waved, and then stopped playing. I don't understand.

Richards believed that Hooper had made a mistake. He added, "He should keep the game going, as Gralish and the goalkeeper are one-on-one. You cannot explain this. We have encountered many situations where we allow the game to continue, and if there are any doubts, let it continue. We can always bring it back.".

Meanwhile, Carragher urged PGMOL CEO Howard Webb to analyze the incident. PGMOL has not yet broken its silence on this matter. "They need to figure this out," said Liverpool Idol. This is a foul, but raise your arm and blow the whistle.

Guardiola showed little interest in discussing Hooper's decision throughout the game. He said, "Next question. I won't comment on Mikel Altta.".

The referee is now saying to blow the whistle after the game starts, pass the ball, and then blow the whistle. So I don't know. We have created many opportunities, and we are very aggressive. Football is like life, sometimes you don't get what you deserve. Congratulations to Tottenham for getting one point. That's football.

Ange Postecoglu was also asked about Hooper's suspicious whistle. The Spurs coach said, "This doesn't affect me at all. I don't think this is the story of today's game. That exciting football game had a better storyline than the referee's decision.".
