JAMIE CARRAGHER has called out Alan Shearer for his analysis of Erling Haaland during the FA Cup final.
Haaland’s side won the second piece of their prospective Treble ahead of their Champions League final against Inter Milan.
City bested cross-city rivals 2-1 at Wembley as Ilkay Gundogan netted either side of Bruno Fernandes’ penalty.
However, Haaland could not get on the scoresheet for the fourth game in a row, a drought by his prolific standards.
During half time, Shearer defended the striker as he wondered why people questioned him in the earlier stages of the season.
But Carragher quickly pointed out that the Newcastle icon then did the exact same during his analysis of Haaland’s opening 45 minutes.

The Liverpool legend hinted that Shearer was hypocritical as he criticised the Norwegian’s performance against Manchester United.
He tweeted: “Alan Shearer just asked why people questioned the Haaland Man City fit in the first half of the season.
“He then showed analysis of Haaland not getting the ball early enough in the first half of the season, which was the reason why people questioned it 🤷♂️😂😂.”
Shearer is yet to respond to Carragher’s comments on Twitter.

It is not the first time Carragher has taken aim at a fellow pundit.
He recently called Rio Ferdinand a “clown” after they disagreed with the decision to overturn a penalty during Inter Milan’s Champions League win over rivals AC.
The Manchester United legend claimed he was left confused by the comments because he gets on well with Carragher behind closed doors.
The pair have seen made amends and put the episode behind them.
