A Liverpool fan has concocted a hypothesis on why ref Simon Hooper settled on the colossally questionable decision during Manchester City versus Tottenham Hotspur
On Sunday night, City and Spurs played to a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Etihad Stadium.
However, Hooper’s contentious decision to halt a promising City attack tainted the encounter.
During stoppage time, Erling Haaland seemed as though he was fouled yet remained on his feet to play the ball towards Jack Grealish, who was looking prone to get on the finish of the through ball.
In any case, ref Hooper seemed to blow his whistle notwithstanding initially waving play on for advantage.
The choice left City fans and players smoldering as Haaland responded via web-based entertainment soon after the last whistle.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of City, was asked to comment on the incident, but he was reluctant to go into great detail.
A Liverpool supporter has now posted a theory about Hooper’s decision on social media.
The Anfield Wrap’s Neil Atkinson wrote: I have a truly ordinary idea concerning what has happened with the Hooper giving the free kick thing.
“I figure he can’t see Grealish as a result of the three Prods players and thinks Haaland has recently placed it into space. Then clearly he can and acknowledges he has f**ked up.”
Talking on Sky Sports, Gary Neville said after the episode: ” Haaland has lost his head. But I think that’s partly due to the fact that I’ve had a pretty bad game in front of goal.
“City have surrendered nine objectives in four games. That will be a greater worry toward the end than the refereeing blunder when Grealish was through.”
Previous City player Micah Richards added: ” The official had a splendid game today until this second. It’s not clear to me.
“The official puts the whistle to his mouth, he waves the play on to play advantage. Haaland passes the ball through to Jack Grealish, who clearly is onside, and then he stops the play, which I don’t quite understand.
Liverpool is keeping a close eye on the negotiations for an £89 million signing as Barcelona lays the groundwork for a deal.
Liverpool should contend with Barcelona for the marking of Bayer Leverkusen wunderkind Florian Wirtz
Wunderkind, signifying ‘wonderkid’ in German, is the ideal method for depicting Wirtz.
He as of now has 16 objective commitments this season after he got four objectives and eight helps last term.
Thus, it’s nothing unexpected he’s as of now esteemed at an astounding £89 million (€100m) with Leverkusen overseeing overseer of game Simon Rolfes succinctly summarizing his club’s dreary perspective on move interest in Wirtz.
“No, nobody has moved toward us, and that’s what nobody needs,” he said.
Presently, Spanish distribution Game cases that the forward has been “followed intently” by Barcelona despite the fact that they guaranteed in a prior report that Wirtz “has basically zero chance of playing for Barça.”
This is disregarding converses with the player’s delegates with the player purportedly longing for a transition to Camp Nou.
SPORT currently reports that “Wirtz is focusing on Britain” disregarding the way that “Fernando Garro, the leader of Leverkusen, is an accomplice of Barcelona.”
There will be a colossal rush from clubs all over Europe to take a shot at marking Wirtz when he chooses to leave the Bundesliga and ideally Liverpool will be one of them.
Not an exchange will occur in January with the mid year move window the earliest opportunity to sign him.

The Premier League has explained why Cody Gakpo’s equalizer for Liverpool was disallowed due to an unusual VAR procedure. On Saturday, the Reds were trailing Aston Villa, and while Roberto Firmino equalized late in the game, Jurgen Klopp could have had all three points if Gakpo’s close-range strike had stood.
When Gakpo lashed into the bottom corner, they appeared to be given a lifeline, but after a lengthy VAR consultation, referee John Brooks determined that the goal could not stand. Although the former PSV Eindhoven forward remained with the club throughout the transfer, supporters were perplexed by the final decision.
Ezra Konsa deflected Luis Diaz’s header back across goal, landing at the feet of Virgil van Dijk, who was standing beyond the last line of defense but appeared to be played onside before crossing back in for the goal, but Brooks determined that the Villa defender’s contribution was not intentional.
Despite Firmino’s late equalizer in his last appearance at Anfield, the result was a bitter blow for the Reds, who will almost certainly be forced to compete in Europe’s second-tier club competition next season.
After receiving a touchline ban for his comments about referee Paul Tierney last month, Klopp was forced to watch the game from the stands. Despite the controversy surrounding Villa’s disallowed goal and Tyrone Mings’ potential red card, the German chose to ignore the issues following the game.
During the game against Sevilla, we saw the ball boys leave the country.” How long did Roma and Leverkusen have possession of the ball? It is something that everyone does. This has happened in several games this season. Nothing to do with today’s outcome.”
The Reds’ season will come to an end next weekend when they travel to relegated Southampton, with Klopp admitting that his team has been far too poor for far too long to merit fourth place.
