The incident occurred after Haaland was fouled and the referee seemed to give play-on initially, but changed his mind once Jack Grealish received the ball in one-on-one situation.
That led to the furious reaction from all of Man City players, led by Haaland, who expressed his anger after the game in a social media post.
Haaland’s dad also got in on the act, jumping to the defense of he 23-year-old striker.
Gary Neville, who was commentating at the the, was also in awe of the decision.
“He did play the advantage that was real surprise, Haaland gets fouled and he lets that go a bit and then blows there. He see’s the pass, really strange one.” Neville said.
