After today's match against Tottenham, Manchester City's manager declined to comment on the refereeing. Guardiola referred to not wanting to be fined like Arteta for a negative comment about the referee.
His words were quoted by the BBC.
“Next question. I won't make an ”Arteta comment". It's tough when you see replays.
The referee decides to blow after he said play on. The whistle after the pass—I don't understand that," - said Guardiola.
It's worth remembering that in added time to the second half, a controversial incident occurred that potentially could have impacted the game's result. City's forward, Jack Grealish, was breaking away toward a meeting with the goalkeeper, but referee Simon Hooper unexpectedly blew his whistle for a previous infringement, despite allowing the attack to continue a second earlier.
This moment stirred emotions among the City players, with Haaland expressing the most dissatisfaction.
