Voice of the UK

Available for over a year

The Premier League refereeing body Pro Ref has admitted an "error of judgement" in awarding Erling Haaland's Manchester City winner against Manchester United. As City celebrated a remarkable derby victory over Manchester United, there were questions as to whether Haaland's winning goal should have stood in a match fraught with controversy. The striker scored in the 60th minute at Old Trafford, turning home at the back post from Josko Gvardiol's cross before it was disallowed on the field for offside. United defender Lisandro Martinez said it was an "injustice" while boss Michael Carrick said he was "confused" by the decision. Nicky Campbell asks: VAR: 'error of judgement' or 'injustice'?
