Haaland's fury: heated argument with Messi's teammate after Man City vs Tottenham

The Norwegian striker was furious with this Argentine midfielder.

The match between Manchester City and Tottenham had it all: good play, tension, fights, score changes and goals, lots of goals. The Spurs started winning, then the Citizens were ahead twice and in the last minute the visitors netted the equaliser, so the result was more like a victory for them.

 

The flip side was Pep Guardiola's team, who thought they had all three points and in the end were left with just one. This caused frustration and anger among some players, fueled by some of referee Simon Hooper's decisions that were difficult to understand.

The most furious of all was Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker was unable to score goals, despite providing the assist for Jack Grealish in the third, and that undoubtedly annoyed him. In addition, he was the protagonist of an absurd situation in the last minutes, when he received a foul, got up quickly and gave a great assist to Grealish. When the English winger had the chance to face the Vicario goalkeeper, the referee blew his whistle and gave the free kick to Manchester City in the middle of the field.

But that was not all. Once the match was over, a fan who was filming captured the exact moment when Erling was leaving the field and accidentally collided with Giovani Lo Celso, one of Tottenham's stars. The midfielder, Lionel Messi's teammate in the Argentina national team, did not like this and said a few words to Haaland, who turned to face him. Eventually they were separated and the quarrel ended.

 

 

They have reason to be disappointed

The draw against Tottenham was a bad result for Manchester City, as Arsenal and Liverpool won their respective games and increased their lead in the standings. The Gunners are now leaders with 33 points, while the Reds are in second place with 31. The Citizens are third with 30.
