4<\/p>\n Spence was on the end of an X-rated gesture after his penalty decision was overturnedCredit: Getty<\/p>\n The full-back mazed his way into the box and seemed to be tripped, with referee Clement Turpin awarding a spot-kick. <\/p>\n However, after going to the VAR screen, Turpin changed his mind and awarded a free-kick to Norway instead as Spence ‘initiated the contact’.<\/p>\n Haaland<\/a> Sr. then made his thoughts clear on the incident, as he was spotted by cameras making some gestures.<\/p>\n Alf-Inge made a diving move with his hands above his head before flicking his two fingers up in the air.<\/p>\n READ MORE ON WORLD CUP<\/p>\n He could also seemingly be seen mouthing: “F*** off.”<\/p>\n Jude Bellingham<\/a> also found himself on the end of Haaland’s dad’s wrath, as he commented on social media too<\/a>. <\/p>\n In reply to a post on X regarding Bellingham’s second goal against Norway<\/a> to put England into the lead in extra-time, Haaland took aim at the officiating.<\/p>\n He wrote: “Well done Bellingham and referee.”<\/p>\n He later added: “Really? Saved bye the referee. Hope you win the WC now. But feel we got robbed today.”<\/p>\n His rage ended up being in vain though, as England claimed an extra-time win to reach the World Cup semi-finals. <\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n Haaland Sr. was in attendance as Norway took on England in MiamiCredit: Getty 4<\/p>\n But he watched as his son was beaten by his Premier League rivals at the World CupCredit: Getty<\/p>\n Bellingham’s double cancelled out Andreas Schjelderup’s opener, with the Three Lions now two wins away from glory.<\/p>\n Penalty drama <\/p>\n Haaland Sr. clearly thought the correct decision was made with Spence adjudged to have dived in the box. <\/p>\n But talkSPORT’s Adrian Durham<\/a> didn’t think it was right. <\/p>\n Durham said: “I think there’s a similarity to the one Harry Kane<\/a> gave away in Mexico in the last round. He’s gone to kick the ball, the Mexican puts his foot in front of him, Kane kicks the Mexican. <\/p>\n “Now, Djed Spence<\/a> is on the ball, he’s got control of the football going into the box, he can put his feet and legs where he wants. But if Bobb clatters into him from behind, that has to be a penalty. <\/p>\n “I cannot understand how VAR has suggested, ‘You’ve got to look at that one again’, and the referee has decided, ‘Oh, I was clearly wrong there, that’s got to be overturned’. <\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n The referee determined it wasn’t a penalty, but England still progressedCredit: Getty<\/p>\n “For me, once you’ve given it, that is a penalty all day long.”<\/p>\n Semi-finals secured <\/p>\n They missed out on the penalty, but Bellingham’s goal before that moment was enough to do the job.<\/p>\n His second strike of the game in extra time sent England through to the World Cup semi-finals in Miami. <\/p>\n Read More on talkSPORT<\/p>\n talkSPORT will have live coverage of that last-four clash on Wednesday, July 15.<\/p>\n You can listen to talkSPORT through the website<\/a> and via the talkSPORT app<\/a>, on DAB digital radio, through your smart speaker and on 1089 or 1053 AM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Erling Haaland’s dad Alf-Inge has been caught on camera appearing to swear towards England’s Djed Spence.
