The former Leeds midfielder and father of Manchester City striker Erling said Thomas Tuchel’s side were “saved by the referee” in their 2-1 win in Miami.
Norway had a goal by Torbjørn Heggem, which would have put them 2-1 up, ruled out after Erling Haaland pushed over Elliot Anderson at a corner.
In response to a post on X by journalist Henry Winter, Haaland senior wrote: “Saved by the referee. Hope you win the WC now. But feel we got robbed today.”
In an earlier post, referring to Jude Bellingham’s match-winning second goal, he wrote: “Well done Bellingham and referee.”
Haaland senior had earlier been seen on television sticking two fingers up at someone in the crowd after suggesting Djed Spence had dived to win a penalty which was subsequently overturned after a VAR intervention.
