Manchester City is dealing with multiple problems this season, including the 115 Financial Fair Play charges. They are also on a three-match winless streak in the Premier League. In addition, Erling Haaland has put himself into big trouble after reacting badly against the referee after their draw against Tottenham. This gesture has not gone down well with a pundit. He has asked the authorities to ban the Norwegian.

This was after the decision by referee Simon Hooper to call back for a foul on Erling Haaland after Jack Grealish was through on goal. Both teams were level 1-1 in the 94th minute, which made matters worse. This resulted in Erling Haaland venting his frustrations to the referee.

Haaland should face sanctions for hounding the referee, claims ex-Premier League veteran

Ex-Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop, speaking on potentially banning Erling Haaland, said,” If he puts his hands on the referee, yes, but where I sympathize with City is as I was watching this game, I thought the referee gestured to play on, and then and then it almost as though he recognized that Grealish was through on goal and he blew the whistle.

“I thought in the middle of a game, right at that point, you understand the emotions boiling over, so I sympathize with most of Manchester City and how they remonstrate, how they react. I cannot defend putting hands on the referee in the manner Erling Haaland did at the very least; that, for me, warrants addressing”.

Erling Haaland certainly did not look happy with the decisions against his team. There were other occasions where the Manchester City striker also had arguments with a Spurs player.

Erling Haaland could pay the price for several aspects of the controversy

There were rumors on social media that Erling Haaland had also abused the referee after walking away from him. However, it was hurled towards Brennan Johnson and Giovani Lo Celso. Despite this, the FA could sanction him for his tweet, “WTF,” attached to the controversial video.

The sanctions would also be against the club for failing to conduct their players around the referees. However, the FA has yet to announce individual punishments against Erling Haaland or any other player. What do you think about this entire saga? Let us know in the comments below.
