The referees committee acknowledged that there was an error in the validation of Erling Haaland's goal against Manchester United. The Norwegian striker scored the goal that decided the Manchester derby, at a time when the ball had apparently touched the player's arm before entering the net.
The decision ended up being very controversial and generated great debate in the football world. The referees committee publicly admitted that the validation of the goal was not correct, acknowledging the failure in the analysis of the incident.
This goal was decisive for the final result of the match, directly influencing the Premier League standings. The referees committee's admission of the error now raises questions about the VAR protocols used in this competition.
