Ange's Spurs snatch point in 3-3 thriller at Man City

Not that Erling Haaland was too happy after referee Simon Hooper denied Jack Grealish the chance to score a stoppage-time winner for the Premier League champions.

The Norway international reacted furiously when the whistle was blown for an earlier foul on him just as Grealish looked through on goal. Haaland was booked for his response.

"He's a little bit disappointed," City manager Pep Guardiola said.

"Even the referee - if he played for Man City today, he would be disappointed for that action, that's for sure."

Haaland had been brought down by Tottenham defender Emerson Royal as City went in search of a winner after Dejan Kulusevski's 90th-minute equaliser for Ange Postecoglou's side.

But as the forward regained his feet, Hooper appeared to gesture for play to carry on, with Haaland releasing Grealish.

It was then the official blew his whistle, much to the anger of the home fans and City's players.

Haaland went on to express his frustration at what had happened in a post on social media, responding to a video of the incident.

Guardiola was asked to comment on the referee's decision in his post-game news conference and was more careful with his response.

"I don't want to criticise him (the referee)," Guardiola said.

"On the touchline sometimes I lose my mind and my gestures are not proper ... But I would say we didn't draw for that (reason)."

City had twice been ahead and looked to have sealed the game when Grealish came off the bench to make it 3-2 in the 81st minute.

Kulusevski's header earned Tottenham a point and consigned City to a third straight draw in the league, leaving Guardiola's team three points off league leaders Arsenal in third.

Liverpool, who beat Fulham 4-3, are a point ahead of City in second place.

Tottenham ended their recent three-game losing run, which had dropped them from first to sixth.

"We weren't at our usual standard first half - Man City could have blown us away during that period," manager Postecoglou said.

"We hung in there and second half was a lot better. We had more belief and conviction and we made it more uncomfortable for them.

"Massive effort from the players, it would have been very easy to get blown away, but they showed great character and it is important they get a reward.

"A point is a good reward."

Liverpool looked set to lose their 18-match unbeaten home run when Bobby De Cordova-Reid put Fulham 3-2 ahead late in Sunday's clash.

But goals from Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold in the dying minutes completed a dramatic 4-3 win for Jurgen Klopp's team.

Chelsea didn't spend a British record of more than $195 million on Enzo Fernandez for his scoring prowess, but the Argentina international struck twice to secure a battling 3-2 win against Brighton.

After four straight wins in all competitions, Aston Villa needed a 90th-minute equaliser to rescue a point at Bournemouth.

West Ham missed the chance to move above Brighton in eighth with a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.
