Pro Ref Admits Error on Haaland's Goal Against Man Utd
Pro Ref, the independent refereeing body, admitted to an error in judgment regarding Erling Haaland's 60th-minute goal during Manchester City's 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. This goal was pivotal, as it secured City's position at the top of the Premier League table alongside Arsenal.
Pro Ref confirmed that VAR had cleared Haaland for offside, but the controversy arose from Enzo Fernandez's positioning during a header challenge with Lisandro Martinez in the lead-up to the goal. Following the incident, Manchester United received an official apology from Pro Ref, and a formal review of the incident is set to take place.
The match was also marked by Phil Foden receiving a straight red card in the first half, which led to City playing with ten men yet still managing to secure the win. The outcome of the match and the officiating decisions are now under scrutiny.
