Maguire Handball Controversy Explained | Jamaica News

A controversial goal by Harry Maguire in Manchester United’s 5-2 win over Ipswich Town has ignited debate after VAR failed to disallow it — despite a potential handball that deflected into the net off an Ipswich defender. Former referee Peter Prendergast argues the handball, even if accidental, should have been penalized under current rules, especially since it directly led to the goal. But because it was ruled an own goal, VAR had no authority to overturn the call — leaving fans furious and questioning how such a pivotal moment slipped through the cracks. The goal remains the defining moment of the match, showcasing how rule interpretations can create dramatic, unfair outcomes.
