Haaland Goal Stands After Offside Drama | MLS News

Manchester City pulled off a dramatic derby win over Manchester United thanks to Erling Haaland’s controversial goal — initially ruled offside, but ultimately awarded after VAR confirmed a deflection put him onside. The win came with City down to 10 men after Phil Foden’s red card, heightening the drama. United’s Lisandro Martínez blasted the decision as “injustice,” claiming Fernández’s positioning disrupted play — though new footage shows Haaland was indeed offside from one angle, VAR’s review clarified the deflection saved the goal. A call that’ll spark debate for weeks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
