This Simon Hooper referee error in the Man City Spurs game in second half stoppage time was a hugely controversial incident in the 3-3 draw between the two teams. Hooper appeared to award an advantage to City for a foul on Erling Haaland with the score at 3-3, but just as City continued to play and there emerged a potential 1v1 chance for Jack Grealish, he blew his whistle and brought them back. City players and fans were unhappy at the decision
