Referee admits error in Haaland's derby goal

The English Premier League authorities acknowledged the presence of a "misjudgment" regarding Norwegian Erling Haaland's goal that secured Manchester City’s 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Manchester Derby. The match also saw City playing with ten men after Phil Foden was sent off. The goal, initially disallowed due to offside, was awarded following the Video Assistant Referee's intervention, despite protests from United players concerning a potential offside involving City midfielder Enzo Fernández that was not scrutinized carefully. The officials confirmed that the referee did not realize the possible influence of Fernández's position on the play. During the game, Manchester City had to play with ten players from the 23rd minute after Foden’s dismissal. Coach Marisca celebrated his first derby victory, guiding his team to four consecutive wins and raising their points tally to 12. Meanwhile, Haaland set a new record as the top scorer in derby history with nine goals in just eight matches.
