Why VAR allowed Haaland’s goal against Man United – Howard Webb

Professional Game Referees (PRO) chief Howard Webb addressed the controversial decision to award Erling Haaland's goal for Manchester City against Manchester United during the Manchester derby. Speaking on the debut episode of 'Match Officials Mic'd Up', Webb explained that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system suffered from "tunnel vision" during the review process.

Webb announced that a formal review will be conducted to examine how the VAR team arrived at the decision to let the goal stand. The incident has drawn significant attention, prompting the release of full audio from the officiating team to provide transparency regarding the controversial ruling.
