The FA could charge Manchester City striker Erling Haaland over a tweet he sent out following their 3-3 draw with Tottenham on Sunday.
Haaland was reacting to a controversial late decision by referee Simon Hooper.
He tweeted, “Wtf.”
City were denied a match-winning chance five minutes into stoppage time when Hooper stopped play when Jack Grealish raced onto a through ball by Haaland.
Haaland had been fouled by Spurs defender Emerson Royal inside the centre circle but regained his feet to pass to Grealish.
Hooper had initially signalled he was playing the advantage but blew his whistle when Grealish looked set to race clear on goal.
The decision prompted a furious response from Haaland, who was shown a yellow card by Hooper, but the Norway forward is now in danger of FA sanction for his post on X if it is deemed to breach Rule E3.1, governing social media comments or remarks made in the media.
