PGMOL Admits Error in Haaland's Derby Goal Decision
Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) acknowledged an “error of judgement” regarding the decision that permitted Erling Haaland’s winning goal for Manchester City in the Manchester derby against Manchester United on Sunday. The match, held at Old Trafford, ended with a 1-0 victory for City, thanks to Haaland's strike in the 60th minute.
Initially, the on-field decision ruled Haaland offside; however, a VAR check revealed he was onside. PGMOL noted a separate issue involving Enzo Fernandez's position, which may have influenced the play.
They stated that although Fernandez did not play the ball, the VAR official should have recommended an on-field review due to the potential impact of his position. PGMOL confirmed that they contacted Manchester United to acknowledge the error and that a review of the incident would occur.
This admission follows Haaland's goal, which marked a perfect start for City in the Premier League, winning all four matches.
