The VAR officials who were in charge of Sunday’s Manchester derby failed to check whether Manchester City midfielder Enzo Fernandez was interfering with play for Erling Haaland’s controversial winner against Manchester United, it has been revealed.
Appearing on the Premier League’s Mic’d Up show, referees’ boss Howard Webb said the officials had “tunnel vision” and became “super focused” on assessing whether Haaland was onside, rather than also considering whether Fernandez was committing an offside offence.
