City's goal misjudged against United
The Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City was marked by widespread controversy following the decision to award City's winning goal, scored by Erling Haaland in the 60th minute, despite an apparent offside by Enzo Fernández. The Professional Referees Organization (ProRef) admitted that the goal decision was a "misjudgment," as there was no accurate follow-up on the incident by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). However, initially, VAR ruled to annul the goal due to offside but later reversed its decision, awarding the goal after confirming that Fernández did not touch the ball, despite being in an offside position. This decision sparked anger among United fans, especially after Foden's sending-off, which also raised questions about its validity. The questionable goal shifted the course of the match, highlighting how the referee's decision had a negative impact on sportsmanship and sparking intense debates about VAR technology and refereeing in the English Premier League.
