EPL: It’s ridiculous – Guardiola slams VAR, referee over Haaland’s disallowed goal

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has slammed the match officials for their game against Brighton on Wednesday night.

After Erling Haaland’s potential late winner was ruled out during the game, the Spaniard was furious.

Manchester City drew 1-1 at the Amex on Wednesday night, ensuring the home side’s qualification for the Europa League next season.

Phil Foden put the Citizens ahead before Julio Enciso equalised for Roberto de Zerbi’s side.

However, with just over 10 minutes remaining, the Premier League champions scored what many thought would be the game-winning goal by Haaland.

However, VAR advised referee Simon Hooper to review the goal on the pitch, and Haaland was found to have pulled defender Levi Colwill’s shirt.

“If it is a fault, there are 25 faults to every defender when they make a long ball. If it is a fault, every time it is a fault.

“Come on. It is ridiculous. The goal disallowed is ridiculous but it doesn’t matter,” he said.
