The Norwegian striker was furious with referee Simon Hooper after he pulled the ball back for a Manchester City free despite Jack Grealish running through on goal.
The incident occurred deep into injury time when Erling Haaland was fouled but managed to stay on his feet and play a ball through for the English winger.
But although he seemed to have played advantage, the referee blew the whistle and called for the ball to be brought back for a free kick.
Justifiably furious with the decision, Haaland and the other City players surrounded the referee in protest.
After the full-time whistle went, the Norwegian forward stormed off the pitch while frantically shouting at Hooper.
The 23-year-old took to X after the game to express how he felt about the decision.

The 3-3 draw means that Pep Guardiola’s side now drop three points behind league leaders Arsenal, who saw out a 2-1 win against Wolves on Saturday afternoon.
They must now turn their attention towards next week’s clash with Unai Emery’s high-flying Aston Villa.
Villa haven’t lost at home all season and will fancy their chances after seeing tonight’s result.
Have always said this and it applies today, if at the end of any game you are complaining about refereeing decisions then the simple truth is you did not do enough during the game. If our finishing was better that could’ve been over by half time.
what a load of bull, referee clearly made a massive error and will no doubt be downgraded to referee in the Championship although why they should put up with his crap is beyond me
As ever, City are allowed to break the rules. The ugly foul mouthed Norwegian thug is abusing the ref, shouting in his face. At least three City players should get three match bans but we know money will talks.
If he used any foul mouthed words to the ref then yes he should get punished, but the ref never said this occurred. So you are wrong to assume
