Manchester Derby VAR Stood Down From Premier League Duty
Pro Ref said the VAR missed Enzo Fernandez’s likely impact and should have sent the Manchester derby goal to an on-field review.
- Pro Ref suspended Video Assistant Referee Matt Donohue and Assistant VAR Blake Antrobus following their error in Manchester City's 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
- In a statement, Pro Ref admitted an "error of judgement" regarding Erling Haaland's winning goal, stating the VAR "should have recommended an on-field review" because Enzo Fernandez interfered from an offside position.
- Initially disallowed, Haaland's goal was awarded after VAR review; Phil Foden was sent off after 23 minutes, yet City maintained their 100% league record from four games with the victory.
- Chief Refereeing Officer Howard Webb and the management team decided both officials will not return to duty until at least after the international break, though other match officials were assigned games.
- Referee Michael Oliver, assistants Stuart Burt and Tim Wood, and fourth official Paul Tierney have been appointed to upcoming Premier League fixtures following their work at the Manchester derby.
