Pep Guardiola hits out at Man City refereeing decisions after Erling Haaland anger

Pep Guardiola suggested that Manchester City are not getting consistency from referees as he brought up the anger that contributed to Erling Haaland's yellow card against Everton.

Haaland invoked the wrath of nearly the entire Everton team with a full-blooded slide on Vitality Mykolenko towards the end of the first half, with the visitors incensed that the City striker wasn't sent off for the challenge. A bad-tempered match saw seven yellows dished out by Andrew Madley, with three for the home side and four for Everton.

Guardiola was not impressed by a question in his post-match press conference about the aggression Haaland showed, taking it as centring on the foul that his No.9 committed. The City boss did tell his striker to be careful after the challenge but cited a number of incidents at Leeds to show his unhappiness at the treatment his team were receiving.
