Video Assistant Referee (VAR) officials Matt Donohue and Blake Antrobus, who oversaw the Manchester derby, have been suspended for the upcoming Premier League games. According to Sky Sports News, this decision was made by Chief Refereeing Officer Howard Webb and the management team. Both Donohue and Antrobus will be unable to officiate any matches until after the international break.
However, referee Michael Oliver and his assistants Stuart Burt and Tim Wood, along with fourth official Paul Tierney, who also participated in the Manchester derby, have been assigned games. The refereeing body Pro Ref acknowledged an error was made in awarding Manchester City's goal during their 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
They confirmed they had contacted Manchester United to acknowledge an "error of judgment" and that the VAR should have recommended an on-field review for Haaland's winning goal.
