Manchester City's referrring body, Pro Ref, has acknowledged an "error of judgement" in allowing Erling Haaland's winning goal during the Manchester derby against Manchester United. Haaland scored in the 60th minute after a cross from Josko Gvardiol. Initially, the goal was disallowed for offside, but the video assistant referee (VAR) intervened, deeming Enzo Fernandez onside after Fernandez's diving attempt on the ball.
Pro Ref stated that Fernandez did not make contact with the ball, making the offside decision subjective. However, they acknowledged that VAR should have recommended an on-field review due to the impact of Fernandez's offside position. Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez called the decision an "injustice," while the manager, Michael Carrick, described it as confusing.
The controversy arose in a match where City was down to 10 men in the first half, as Phil Foden was sent off for kicking Bruno Fernandes. Foden received a straight red card in the 23rd minute for striking the midfielder while he was on the ground.
