Haaland's controversial goal lifts 10-man City to Manchester derby win

Erling Haaland's controversial goal in the 60th minute gave Manchester City a 1-0 victory over rivals Manchester United in Sunday's tempestuous derby at Old Trafford.

City claimed the win despite going down to 10 men in the 23rd minute when Phil Foden was sent off for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes.

That wasn't the only contentious decision that shaped the match, however.

Haaland's decisive goal was initially ruled offside on the pitch, but it was eventually awarded after a lengthy review.

The VAR first confirmed that Haaland was in an onside position when the initial cross was played in, and then determined that a diving Enzo Fernandez, who was in an offside position, wasn't actively involved in the play because he didn't touch the ball before it reached his Norwegian teammate.

Haaland now has more Manchester derby goals (nine) than any player in the Premier League era, breaking a tie with Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney.

"I thought maybe someone flicked it. When I found out no one flicked it, I took it personally that they thought I was offside because I'm never usually offside," Haaland said after the match.

"It's always nice to win football games, but especially with 10 men for 60 minutes at Old Trafford, it's such a nice feeling, especially with the fans at the end.

"To look at all the faces of the supporters at the end is just a great feeling."

The win moved Enzo Maresca's Manchester City level with Arsenal at the top of the table on 12 points.

The title rivals are the only two teams with a perfect record after the opening four matches of the new Premier League campaign.
