Hours after the Old Trafford derby, the Premier League's Refereeing Body recognized that there was a "judgment error" in the goal scored by Erling Haaland that gave Manchester City the win over Manchester United. According to the body responsible for refereeing, the goal should not have counted.
The Norwegian striker scored the only goal of the match, allowing City to beat United 1-0 and consolidate their position at the top of the Premier League table. The Manchester derby took place at Old Trafford, United's home ground.
The Refereeing Body publicly admitted that the decision made during the game was incorrect, classifying it as a judgment error. This acknowledgment comes hours after the conclusion of the match that resulted in the home team's defeat.
With this victory, City moved further ahead of United in the league table, even though the goal that decided the result was later deemed invalid by the English league's refereeing body.
