Haaland Goal Sparks Offside Debate | Dubai News

Manchester City pulled off a dramatic win over rivals Manchester United, but the only goal—scored by Erling Haaland in the 60th minute—is sparking massive controversy. VAR overturned an initial offside call after Enzo Fernandez, who was offside, made a move toward the ball that prompted a reaction from United’s Lisandro Martinez. While VAR ruled Fernandez didn’t touch the ball and thus wasn’t offside, former referees including Keith Hackett argue his movement interfered with play enough to warrant disallowing the goal. Even Joe Hart couldn’t explain how it stood, and Carrick called it “as obvious as it gets.” Despite the goal’s questionable legality, City held on to win after playing with ten men for over an hour—making this one of the most debated moments in Premier League history.
