The VAR Conundrum: When Technology Fails to Settle the Score The Premier League referees' body, Pro Ref, has issued a rare apology to Manchester United after admitting that a key decision in last Sunday's derby match was an error.
Erling Haaland's winning goal, awarded by Video Assistant Referee (VAR) Matthew Donohue and assistant VAR Blake Antrobus, was deemed subjective due to the lack of action from Enzo Fernández, who was incorrectly assessed as not interfering with play.
The decision has sparked a heated debate about the reliability of VAR in high stakes matches.
