Manchester City’s 1-0 derby victory over Manchester United was marred by a disputed goal from Erling Haaland. The goal, initially flagged for offside, was allowed to stand after officials confirmed Haaland was onside. The decision sparked outrage among fans and former players, with Wayne Rooney calling VAR “horrendous.” The Premier League referees’ committee later acknowledged the error, confirming the goal should not have been awarded. The match, played at Old Trafford, saw Manchester United’s captain Bruno Fernandes sent off, leaving them a man down. Despite the controversy, Manchester City secured the win, with Haaland’s goal proving decisive. The incident has reignited debates over VAR’s role in high-stakes matches.
