Controversy Erupts: Pro Ref Admits ‘Error of Judgement’ in Awarding Haaland’s Derby Winner
Pro Ref has admitted an ‘error of judgement’ in awarding Erling Haaland’s derby winner for Manchester City against Manchester United, stating that Enzo Fernández should have been deemed offside and interfering with play. The officiating body has contacted Manchester United and will review the controversial VAR decision. Michael Carrick, United’s manager, strongly criticized the initial ruling, while City’s Enzo Maresca defended it and suggested Bruno Fernandes also deserved a red card for an earlier incident with Phil Foden.
