Pep Guardiola hits out at referee and says without Haaland it would be tough'
"I said to him after, when we see each other: Tell me if it's a foul or not because I'm waiting. If it's a foul or not, just tell me. Just take a look [at a replay].' It's fine. They're brave here. In the Etihad they [referees] are brave, so brave. I'm sorry to tell you the unbelievable goal for [due to] the official."
"Haaland's 12th and 13th league goals of the season came on 17 and 33 minutes, Nico O'Reilly's third for City coming on the hour. Tyler Adams equalised in the 25th minute for the visitors but it was a controversial goal as David Brooks placed a hand on Gianluigi Donnarumma at Alex Scott's corner, removing it from the goalkeeper at the last moment. Anthony Taylor waved away City's complaints."
Erling Haaland scored in the 17th and 33rd minutes to give Manchester City a commanding lead in a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth, with Nico O'Reilly adding a third on the hour. Tyler Adams scored a controversial 25th-minute equaliser after David Brooks appeared to hand the ball into Gianluigi Donnarumma from a corner, a decision the referee allowed despite City protests. Pep Guardiola labelled the goal a foul and criticised the officiating, noting frustration at refereeing decisions and Donnarumma receiving a booking for complaining. Guardiola praised Haaland's prolific scoring, coachability and importance to City's title challenge; City sit six points behind Arsenal.
