Manchester City is in the spotlight after a heated moment during their match against Tottenham.
The team got charged by the English Football Association because some of their players, including Erling Haaland, crowded around the referee. This happened because the referee didn’t let the game continue after a potential scoring chance.
The FA said that City didn’t do enough to stop their players from behaving in a way that’s not okay in football.
Haaland, who was particularly upset about the referee’s decision, kept complaining even after the game ended. He expressed his frustration on social media when talking about the incident. The FA hasn’t mentioned if Haaland will face any separate actions for what he did.
What caused the uproar was when Haaland was brought down by a Tottenham defender, but as he got back up, the referee signaled for the game to continue. Haaland passed the ball to a teammate, but then the referee blew the whistle to stop play.
Now, Manchester City has time until Thursday to reply to the charge. This kind of situation often leads to the football association taking action to make sure everyone plays fair and respects the rules of the game.
