Referees must 'draw a line in the sand' with abuse after Erling Haaland's outburst in the face of Simon Hooper, argues Chris Sutton.
Sutton argued that only captains should be allowed to protest against incidents with referees, an idea that has not been enforced despite being long mooted.
Seven players - led by Haaland - surrounded Hooper when he pulled play back for a free-kick while Jack Grealish ran through towards goal in the dying moments of their 3-3 draw with Tottenham.
Hooper had given an advantage which led to Grealish breaking beyond the defence but the referee then pulled it back, leading to their rage.
