BREAKING: Erling #Haaland Fumes Over Referee Decisions Moment #Kulusevski Snatches Point For #Spurs As Man City Stumble To 3rd #On #EPL Table—Erling Haaland couldn’t believe his eyes after the referee refused to play advantage at a crucial moment in injury time at Etihad Stadium Sunday evening.
Tottenham were rewarded for taking the game to Manchester City as Ange Postecoglou’s side snatched a 3-3 draw at the Etihad Stadium. A dreadful error from Yves Bissouma looked to have gifted City victory, but Spurs drew level in the final minute as Dejan Kulusevski powered home a brilliant header off the crossbar to end a run of three straight defeats in the Premier League.
Tottenham ended their losing run at the Etihad as a dramatic late header from Dejan Kulusevski secured a point in a frenetic 3-3 draw at the Etihad.
Kulusevski’s header salvaged a point after it looked like Spurs had thrown the game away. Minutes earlier, a mistake by Yves Bissouma had led to a goal by Jack Grealish that looked certain to hand victory to the home side.
The visitors were depleted by injuries but uncompromising in sticking to Ange Postecoglou’s aggressive, front-foot style. They took the lead through a nicely worked goal on the break from Son Heung-min in the first half, but defensive problems soon followed.
City missed a number of chances in the first half, with Jeremy Doku and Julian Alvarez hitting the woodwork, but went into the break in front. An own goal from Son within two minutes of his opening goal levelled the game up before City worked an intricate move for Phil Foden to put them ahead.
In the second half Tottenham fought their way back into the game and deservedly pulled level through Giovanni Lo Celso. The two late goals followed and there was controversy in injury time, when Jack Grealish appeared to be through on goal but the game was stopped for an earlier foul on Erling Haaland.
Several of their players left their players in a fury, partly at their own failure to secure victory and partly because of their dismay at referee Simon Hooper, who pulled play back for a foul on Erling Haaland in the dying minutes even though Jack Grealish was clean through on goal.
The referee had waved play on initially, playing the advantage, before blowing his whistle as Grealish burst forward and the linesman appeared to wave his flag for offside. Replays showed Grealish was not offside. It was a contentious end to another magnificent Premier League match.
Developing Stoty…
