Arbitration admits "judgment error" in Haaland's goal against United

SAPO13 September 2026 at 22:04

The English arbitration body Pro Ref confirmed that there was a "judgment error" in the validation of Erling Haaland's goal in Manchester City's victory over Manchester United.

The goal in question gave Manchester City a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford stadium, last Sunday.

The confirmation of the judgment error was made by Pro Ref during the night, after the match between the two Manchester teams was played.

Haaland was the author of the goal that decided the encounter, contributing to his team's narrow victory at the rival Manchester United's ground.

Why this matters

Manchester United fans will feel aggrieved by a decision that directly influenced the result of an important derby. This confirmation of an arbitration error highlights failures in the arbitration systems and may reignite the debate about the need for additional technology, such as semi-automated offside technology, in English football.
