Manchester City has been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players in Sunday's 3-3 Premier League draw with Tottenham . The players surrounded referee Simon Hooper when he awarded a free-kick to City late in stoppage time after it looked like Jack Grealish was through on goal . Hooper initially indicated City had the advantage and waved play on, but halted the match once the pass was played . The defending champions have until Thursday, 7 December to respond to the charge .

An FA statement said that Manchester City "failed to ensure their players do not behave in a way which is improper" . Striker Erling Haaland was one of several City players to remonstrate with the official and he continued his protests after the game by reposting a clip of the incident on X, formerly Twitter, with the comment "Wtf", which is offensive slang .
It is the third Premier League game in succession that City have drawn, having also been held by Liverpool and Chelsea, and they sit third in the Premier League with a three-point gap to leaders Arsenal . However, the FA will not be handing out any further charges relating to the fixture, so Haaland is not facing an individual punishment .
