Erling Haaland is ‘at risk of FA charge after social media comment’.

Spurs salvaged a point with a 90th-minute equalizer at the Etihad Stadium, but on-field referee Hooper controversially denied the Citizens the opportunity to score a stoppage-time winner.

Hooper initially acknowledged that Haaland had been fouled inside City’s half by Emerson Royal and signaled to play advantage as the Norwegian regained his footing.

However, as Haaland sent Jack Grealish through on Tottenham’s goal, Hooper bizarrely blew his whistle to bring play back for a Man City free kick.

The decision infuriated several Citizens players, including Haaland, who remonstrated in front of Hooper and was shown a yellow card before continuing his protest after the full-time whistle.

Dermot Gallagher, a former Premier League official, has since admitted that Hooper made a “error” by blowing his whistle at that precise moment, but has insisted that the referee did not make the wrong decision under the law.

Gallagher told Sky Sports: “It’s difficult because [Hooper] is a lad who I’d say plays advantage more than anyone else.” He correctly continues, and Simon then blows up for whatever reason.

“If he had waited a second longer, the entire landscape would have changed.” Unfortunately, he has made a mistake. In terms of the law, he has done nothing wrong. It is the ref’s decision to take advantage, not anyone else’s.”

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou also admitted after the game that his team had “got away with one” as a result of Hooper’s decision.

In  response to the late drama, Haaland vented on social media, posting a video of the contentious incident on ‘X’ with the offensive slang caption “Wtf.”

However, according to ESPN, Man City’s No.9 is now at risk of an FA charge if he is found to have violated FA Rule E3.1, which pertains to social media comments or media remarks.
