Haaland's Goal Stands After VAR Review in Manchester Derby
In the Premier League match on [specific date not provided], Erling Haaland's 60th-minute goal for Manchester City was initially disallowed for offside during their 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. The goal came from a deflected cross by Josko Gvardiol.
After a lengthy VAR review, the decision was overturned as Haaland was deemed to be in an onside position when the cross was delivered. The Premier League Match Centre clarified that Manchester United defender Patrick Dorgu's outstretched foot played Haaland onside, confirmed by semi-automated offside technology.
Additionally, Enzo Fernández was in an offside position but did not interfere with play as he did not touch the ball. The VAR concluded that Fernández's movement did not constitute an offside offence, leading to the goal being awarded.
This decision remains controversial, particularly regarding its impact on United defender Lisandro Martínez. Manchester City continues their perfect start to the Premier League season under coach Enzo Maresca.
