"GOOOOAAAAALL. THERE IT FINALLY IS! MANCHESTER CITY HAVE BROKEN THE DEADLOCK!"
Erling Haaland turned with his arms spread wide, but he was halfway towards his mates when the celebrations were interrupted.
A sharp whistle cut through the noise, drawing the attention of the stadium towards the referee, who stood pointing towards the penalty area.
"Manchester City have found the back of the net, but hang on! The referee has stopped play!"
Haaland turned around, his arms still slightly raised.
He looked towards the official with a puzzled expression and then began to approach the official.
"What is it?" he muttered a few steps away.
The referee pointed towards his own elbow, then gestured towards the ground.
Whatmough was down inside the six-yard box.
The Wigan defender had been caught by Haaland's arm during the challenge for the rebound.
He was now sitting on the turf, holding his face as the referee approached.
