During stoppage time, a highly controversial incident unfolded as Haaland appeared to be fouled but managed to stay on his feet and play the ball towards Grealish, who was in a promising position to receive the through ball.
Surprisingly, referee Hooper initially signaled to play on, indicating an advantage. However, just as Haaland delivered the ball to Grealish, Hooper unexpectedly blew his whistle, calling for the foul.
This decision left City fans and players bewildered, especially since Grealish was on the verge of capitalizing on Haaland's pass when the referee intervened.
A video has surfaced capturing Haaland's reaction at the final whistle. The striker was seen shoulder-barging Spurs player Giovani Lo Celso, prompting City boss Guardiola to swiftly intervene and prevent the situation from escalating.
The referee's call continued to incense City fans and players, and Haaland expressed his discontent on social media shortly after the final whistle.
