PGMOL Admits Error in Haaland's Goal Against United
The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) has acknowledged an "error of judgement" regarding the decision to allow Erling Haaland's goal for Manchester City during their Premier League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. The incident occurred in the 60th minute when Haaland scored after being initially flagged for offside.
A VAR review determined he was onside; however, PGMOL later clarified that VAR did not adequately consider Enzo Fernandez's position, which was subjective since he did not play the ball. PGMOL stated that VAR should have recommended an on-field review due to the potential impact of Fernandez's positioning on the defending team.
Following the match, Manchester United was contacted by PGMOL to acknowledge the mistake, and a review of the incident is set to take place to examine the VAR process that allowed the goal.
