NewzReferees' chief Howard Webb has publicly acknowledged a significant officiating error during Sunday's Manchester derby. Speaking on the inaugural episode of 'Match Officials Mic’d Up,' Webb admitted that the video assistant referee (VAR) failed to evaluate whether Enzo Fernandez was in an offside position during the buildup to Erling Haaland’s winning goal.
Webb expressed disappointment regarding the oversight and confirmed that the incident will undergo a formal review. The objective of this process is to analyze the failure and implement measures to prevent similar procedural errors in future matches.
