Manchester City have been fined €140,000 after their players surrounded referee Simon Hooper in the 94th minute of their 3-3 draw with Tottenham earlier this month.Hooper made the contentious call to bring play back after he initially played advantage following Emerson Royal's mistimed challenge on Erling Haaland.Haaland was able to get back to his feet and produce a through ball which sent Jack Grealish away, but Hooper blew his whistle to end their hopes of scoring a potential winner during that play against Spurs.It sparked an animated reaction from Man City’s players with Haaland in particular incensed along with manager Pep Guardiola on the touchline.Haaland expressed his frustration again at full-time and later made clear his bemusement with a post on social-media site X.The Football Association has now fined City after they admitted their players behaved in an improper way."Manchester City FC have been fined £120,000 after their players surrounded a match official at the Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur FC on Sunday 3 December, an FA statement read."Manchester City FC admitted that they failed to ensure their players did not behave in an improper way during the 94th minute."An independent Regulatory Commission imposed this sanction following a hearing."
