Premier League responds to drama in Manchester United vs. Manchester City match
No offside!!!
Manchester City took a 1-0 lead over Manchester United with a goal from Erling Haaland in the 60th minute. Initially, an offside flag was raised, but VAR intervened, confirming Haaland was onside and advised referee Michael Oliver to overturn the decision and award the goal to Manchester City.
The Premier League Match Centre explained this moment: "VAR reviewed the referee's decision not to award the goal due to offside and determined that Haaland was onside, recommending the decision be changed to allow the goal."
Regarding Enzo Fernandez's offside position as he tried to approach the ball, they stated, "Although Fernandez was in an offside position, he did not play or touch the ball and therefore did not interfere with play in any way."
This controversial moment is likely to be debated throughout the day...
