Pro Ref Confirms Error in Haaland's Derby Goal
Guardian Sport1 min read107 words
The Professional Referee Committee has announced it will review the decision that allowed Erling Haaland’s 60th‑minute goal in Sunday’s Manchester derby. The body said the error was “as obvious as it gets,” after the video‑assistant referee (VAR) ruled that Enzo Fernández was not interfering with play in the build‑up, a ruling that overturned an initial offside call.
Haaland’s strike for Manchester City at Old Trafford came after Josko Gvardiol’s cross hit Patrick Dorgu’s boot, passed Fernández and United defender Lisandro Martínez, before being finished. VAR’s intervention over Fernández’s position was deemed incorrect, prompting the committee to contact Manchester United and conduct a full review of the incident.
