Tottenham Hotspur's recent run of good form came to an end as they suffered a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Manchester City.The result saw Tottenham slip to 13th place in the Premier League, adding to their woes at the bottom of the table.

However, a major talking point of the game came after the final whistle when captain Heung-min Son was involved in a heated exchange with referee Jarred Gillett - an incident that could potentially be reviewed by the FA, as he was lucky to escape immediate disciplinary action following the heated interaction.

The incident followed a dramatic moment in stoppage time when Haaland thought he had doubled City's lead, only for VAR to rule out the goal for handball after a lengthy review. The long delay. As the referee blew his final whistle, several Spurs players, including Son, confronted Gillett in protest.

It remains unclear what the Tottenham players were complaining about, as the disallowed goal ultimately benefited Spurs. However, it is possible that they were expecting more added time due to the lengthy VAR review.

Ex-PGMOL chief says Tottenham star could be reported to FA. Hackett defended Gillett's handling of extra time, insisting that referees have full authority over timekeeping. He questioned the need for Son to protest so strongly, especially as the disallowed goal ultimately benefited Tottenham.

He also suggested that Gillett could include the incident in his match report, which could lead to further scrutiny from the FA.

Speaking to Tottenham News, Hackett said:

“Jarred Gillet has delivered two very good performances in recent days. His movement and maintaining contact with play throughout was excellent and his decision-making was made with confidence.

“His judgement about that handball and disallowed goal was perhaps the only point that I would make any comment about. He decided that a handball had taken place and ruled out a Man City goal.

“The Spurs players should look at themselves and I hope that the referee will include in his report the behaviour of Son, who was rather fortunate to escape a sanction for his clear and sustained protest.

Whether the referee reports Son to the FA remains to be seen. If he is reported, there is a chance he could be fined by the governing authority.
