“I think it’s the wrong decision clearly. It’s more of a penalty, but because he gave the decision on the pitch, I think that’s a bit why he stood with the decision… But I never think that should be disallowed…”

The Premier League has since clarified that the referee did, in fact, call handball on the incident – despite the scoreboards failing to reflect it and leaving both fans inside the stadium and those watching at home completely unaware. The statement posted to X read:
It means Haaland – the Golden Boot winner in the previous two seasons – is on 20 Premier League goals for the season as Man City endure a lull in their pursuit of silverware.
He remains a sizeable five goals behind current top goalscorer Mohamed Salah, who is running away with Liverpool as the Reds look to clinch a 20th League title following a 2-0 victory over Newcastle later in the night.
