VAR Blunder Costs United Crucial Point | Sports News

Manchester United vs. Manchester City ended 1-0 to City, but the real firestorm came from a controversial VAR decision that’s now been officially admitted as wrong by the referees’ body. Phil Foden was sent off early for kicking Bruno Fernandes, giving United a numerical advantage — only for Erling Haaland’s goal to be awarded after VAR overturned an offside call, despite replays suggesting Enzo Fernandez may have influenced the play. The error has sparked outrage, especially since the VAR official involved, Matthew Donohue — who previously helped extend Harry Maguire’s ban — has now been suspended for the weekend. For United, it’s a bitter pill: a game they might’ve won could’ve gone differently if the call had been right from the start.
