Referee chief Howard Webb admits Man City goal vs Man Utd 'should not have stood'

TL;DR

  • VAR officials were excessively focused on Erling Haaland's offside position.
  • They missed Enzo Fernandez interfering with play from an offside position before a Manchester City goal.
  • Fernandez's actions, though not touching the ball, impacted the Manchester United defense and goalkeeper.
  • Howard Webb stated the goal 'should have been disallowed'.
  • The VAR officials involved have been stood down and will not return until after the international break.
  • PGMOL has contacted Manchester United to acknowledge the error and shared audio/video from the VAR room.
