VAR Official in Haaland Derby Goal Error Returns to Premier League Duty
The video assistant referee involved in the incorrect decision to award Erling Haaland a goal in last month’s Manchester derby has returned to Premier League appointments.
Haaland’s effort was initially allowed despite the error in the review process, with the incident becoming a significant talking point after the derby. The official was subsequently removed from top-flight duties while the matter was assessed.
He has now been reinstated for Premier League work, ending the temporary absence that followed the controversial call involving the Manchester City forward.
