Ange Postecoglou admits Tottenham ‘got away with one’ after Man City are denied goalscoring opportunity in late controversy

Premier League

Tottenham

City's players were outraged when referee Simon Hooper pulled back play to award a free-kick for a foul rather than let the game run just as Erling Haaland had sent Jack Grealish through on goal. The decision stopped a dangerous City attack late in the game with the score tied at 3-3, and Postecoglou feels his team were rather lucky.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Asked if his team "got away with one" at the end of the game, the Australian said: "Yeah, I guess so mate".He added to BBC Match of the Day: "It doesn't affect me at all. I don't think that is the story of the game today, there are better storylines from that fantastic game of football than one refereeing decision."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The draw leaves Spurs sitting fifth in the Premier League table, three points behind City, who are in third place. The north London side, now four games without a win, are in action again against West Ham on Thursday.
