Speaking to Sky Sports post-match, Haaland expressed his frustration at the late incident and stated he wished the goal had been allowed to stand, rather than issuing a red card to Szoboszlai, which was not really in the best interests of either side.
Haaland said: "I think, for me, of course the referee has to follow the rules.
"But this will give him [Szoboszlai] three games [ban]. I feel bad for him, because he gets three games. Just give the goal, don't give red cards, it's as simple as that.
"But I think it's the rules. This is just how it is. I don't know. In the end, Cherki just passed me the ball and I couldn't score, but that's just how it is."
