Manchester City Charged by FA Following Haaland's Reaction to Referee Decision

City faces challenges with three straight Premier League draws and key players out for next game.

  • Erling Haaland's reaction to referee Simon Hooper's decision not to play an advantage in the final moments of Manchester City’s 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur has sparked debate and led to Manchester City being charged by the Football Association.
  • Haaland, along with other City players, remonstrated with Hooper on the pitch and the striker also reposted a clip of the incident on Twitter commenting “Wtf”.
  • City's recent performance has raised concerns as they have drawn three straight games in the Premier League for the first time since Guardiola’s first year in charge.
  • City will be without its irreplaceable center midfielder, Rodri, because of suspension along with Jack Grealish (also suspension) and most likely Jeremy Doku, who came off injured against Spurs for their next game against Aston Villa.
  • There are concerns about City's ability to exert control in the final sections of games, especially in midfield where Rodri has been overrun at times.
