Enzo Maresca hit back at the outcry over Manchester City’s controversial winner against Manchester United, calling it “quite poor” that his team’s performance has been overshadowed. The Italian also pointed out that a similar decision went against City in a derby in 2023.
The match at Old Trafford was decided when Erling Haaland turned the ball into the net at the far post, initially flagged offside. A VAR intervention deemed that he was onside but failed to establish that Enzo Fernández was actively involved from an offside position.
