There was frustration at the Etihad when the referee Simon Hooper blew for a foul just as Jack Grealish was running in on goal.
The incident came in stoppage time of an action-packed game between Manchester City and Tottenham, which was 3-3 at the time.
There was no offside flag indicated, and despite allowing play to continue, Hooper instead chose to call the play back for a foul - despite the obvious opportunity presented to Grealish.
Speaking on Sky Sports, commentator Gary Neville said: 'Oh no, oh no. Simon Hooper, he played on to start with, what's he done there.
'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.'

they should have used VAR to see if the ball was out of play or if jack was offsides. [Comeon][Comeon][Comeon][Comeon][Comeon][Crylaugh][Crylaugh] but the angle was not clear. that's what happened to Arsenal. I like EPL referees nothing is impossible to them

lol, so just this once you are complaining. when Newcastle score a goal that has already crossed the line u were mocking arsenal saying it was a right decision, even when Liverpool goal against same Tottenham was disallowed you said it was the right decision, now you did not even score just that he blew whistle on an attack you are complaining that they hate u, they don't want u to win the league.
But its they don't 😢

What the heck is going on ? I thought the referee was supposed to wear black ? Why was he allowed to wear white ? This performance isn’t acceptable while other teams are winning. I’ll pick out the weaklings, Gvardiol, Ruben, Rodri, Jeremy, Alvarez, Edersen. Passing backwards & not taking your chances isn’t an option . This is the highest form of soccer , there’s just no excuses for drawing in front of your own crowd. Other teams are winning , Arsenal , Newcastle , Chelsea , Liverpool. They should learn to tackle & dribble & attack , that’s what soccers about , winning, not complaining .
