Erling Haaland's VAR-Confirmed Goal Secures 10-Man Manchester City Win Over Manchester UnitedPreviousNext

Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford despite playing with 10 men after Phil Foden's first-half red card for kicking Bruno Fernandes. Erling Haaland scored the winning goal around the 60th minute, initially ruled offside but later confirmed valid after a VAR review showed he was onside due to a defender's touch. United hit the woodwork twice but could not score. The win places City second in the Premier League, while United remain 13th after four matches.
