Bristol Rovers boss Joey Barton has waded into the debate over the controversy that surrounded Manchester United's opening goal in Saturday's derby and called for referees to explain their decisions to the press.
Erik ten Hag's side fought back from a goal down to record a famous 2-1 victory over Manchester City, who were downed by two quick-fire goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
United's first goal, which was scored by Fernandes, was initially ruled out by the match officials as Rashford was an in offside position. However, the decision was promptly overruled by VAR after it was decided that Rashford, who was running onto the ball before Fernandes came from deep to strike, was not interfering with play.
