Premier League releases statement on why Haaland’s goal against Man Utd was given

The Premier League has issued a statement explaining the decision to award Erling Haaland's goal against Manchester United. Haaland scored in the second half of the match at Old Trafford after Antoine Semenyo's cross found the net. Initially, the linesman flagged the goal as offside, but after a thorough VAR review, referee Michael Oliver was convinced that Haaland was indeed in an onside position.

The VAR also confirmed that while Haaland was in an offside position, Fernandez did not play the ball, thus allowing the goal to stand.
