PGMOL Admits VAR Error in Haaland Goal During Manchester Derby

PGMOL has admitted an error of judgement in the VAR process that allowed Erling Haaland’s goal to stand in Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. Haaland scored in the 60th minute after the original on-field decision flagged him offside. VAR later ruled that he was onside, but PGMOL said the review did not properly assess Enzo Fernandez’s involvement earlier in the move. The refereeing body said the VAR official should have advised referee Michael Oliver to review the incident on the pitch. City held on for the win despite playing with 10 men following Phil Foden’s early dismissal, while United missed several chances to equalise.
