Postecoglou’s terrible rant about the goal that… was saved by Tottenham from City with a refereeing error

THE Tottenham left with the grade from “Etihad” against Manchester City (3-3) in an exciting game, which also raised a lot of discussion.

In the delays, the “citizens” had a huge opportunity to regain the lead, but the referee of the match, Simon Hooperhad a different opinion… In particular, the Erling Haaland became the owner of the ball just behind the center and was marked by her defender Tottenham, however he stood and Hooper rightly gave up an advantage. The point is that afterwards, the Norwegian hit an incredible ball to Gryllis, who quickly left the area and would be left alone facing Vicarios! Somewhere in there, the English referee finally decided to blow the whistle for the foul he had given an advantage for earlier, infuriating the home team.

Tottenham coach Angelos Postecoglou was asked to comment on this phase at the press conference. Asked “your team saved a goal in the end, didn’t they?“, the Greek-Australian coach replied with a sly smile “it probably is, man».

See the phase and Postecoglou’s speech:

So Haaland was fouled, gets straight up and plays the ball with the advantage to Grealish who was then in the clear and Simon Hooper blows the whistle for the foul

Ange Postecoglou was asked about the referee stopping the play in the final moments and whether he could understand Pep Guardiola’s anger.
