Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, has stated that referee Simon Hooper would have been “disappointed” if he had played for the Premier League champions in Sunday’s 3-3 draw with Tottenham.
With Jack Grealish through on goal, Hooper controversially stopped a City attempt for a foul on Erling Haaland.
Haaland and his teammates were enraged by his choice, which they regarded as a chance to tie the game at 4-3 late in the game.
