Was Haaland's winner a VAR error? Man Utd fury at 'injustice'

Manchester City secured a derby victory over Manchester United, but their celebrations were marred by the disallowed goal by Erling Haaland. Initially ruled offside, VAR intervened and awarded the goal, deeming Haaland to be onside. United's Lisandro Martinez expressed frustration, calling the decision an "injustice," while manager Michael Carrick admitted to being "confused" by the ruling.

The controversy surrounded Enzo Fernandez, who was also offside but did not interfere with play. Premier League Match Centre confirmed the goal stood, declaring VAR had determined Haaland was in an onside position. The incident raised questions about the offside law and VAR's decision-making, with pundits and players criticizing the calls.

United's dissatisfaction with the decision and subsequent loss of points added to their disappointment, with Carrick voicing his concern about the league's rules and interpretations.
