Cameras catch Erling Haaland’s dad appearing to make X-rated gesture after telling Djed Spence he dived

Erling Haaland’s dad Alf-Inge was caught on camera appearing to swear towards England’s Djed Spence.

Spence thought he had won a penalty for the Three Lions in extra-time on Saturday night – only for VAR to overturn the decision.

The full-back mazed his way into the box and seemed to be tripped, with referee Clement Turpin awarding a spot-kick.

However, after going to the VAR screen, Turpin changed his mind and awarded a free-kick to Norway instead as Spence ‘initiated the contact’.

Haaland Sr. then made his thoughts clear on the incident, as he was spotted by cameras making some gestures.

Alf-Inge made a diving move with his hands above his head before flicking his two fingers up in the air.

He could also seemingly be seen mouthing: “F*** off.”

Jude Bellingham also found himself on the end of Haaland’s dad’s wrath, as he commented on social media too.

In reply to a post on X regarding Bellingham’s second goal against Norway to put England into the lead in extra-time, Haaland took aim at the officiating.

He wrote: “Well done Bellingham and referee.”

His rage appears to be in vain though, as England close in on an extra-time win to reach the World Cup semi-finals.

Bellingham’s double cancelled out Andreas Schjelderup’s opener, with the Three Lions on the brink of the last four.
