New footage has emerged showing what happened as Erling Haaland stormed off the pitch after Manchester City's Premier League cracker against Tottenham Hotspur.

The two English giants shared the spoils during their meeting on Sunday, December 3, in an epic clash staged at the Etihad Stadium.

City were desperate to use the tie to return to winning ways, having dropped points against Liverpool last weekend in their 1-1 draw.

However, Pep Guardiola's charges went on to drop points once again, with the north Londoners staging a dramatic comeback to force them to a 3-3 draw.

The Guardian reports that Son Heung-min opened the scoring for Spurs inside six minutes of action, only to help the hosts draw level with an own goal three minutes later.

Phil Foden went on to hand City the lead in the 31st minute, with Giovani Lo Celso making it 2-2 in the 69th minute.

Jack Grealish thought he had won it for the hosts with nine minutes left on the clock, but Spurs restored parity once again at stoppage time courtesy of Dejan Kulusevski.

The match was characterised by controversial refereeing decisions, with City denied a late chance after referee, Simon Hooper blew the whistle for a foul while the home side had the advantage.

Sportbible reports that Grealish was about to get onto Haaland's brilliant pass, only for the match official to blow the whistle, much to the chagrin of the City camp.

Hooper's decision did not go down well with City players, including Haaland, who later took to social media to lament.

Earlier on, the Norwegian's reaction at the final whistle had been caught on camera, with the forward seen shoulder-barging a Spurs player.

It took Guardiola's intervention to stop the incident from escalating further, with Haaland storming off the pitch shortly after in foul temper.

Sports Brief also previously reported on Haaland shouting at the referee after a controversial decision in the latter stages of the City vs. Spurs match.

Referee, Simon Hooper failed to play an advantage for City in the closing stages, denying Grealish a goal-scoring chance for the defending champs.
