Erling Haaland's disputed VAR-awarded goal gives 10-man Manchester City a 1-0 derby win over Manchester United

Erling Haaland scored in the 60th minute to give Manchester City a 1-0 win at Old Trafford despite Phil Foden's 23rd-minute red card. The goal was initially ruled out for offside but overturned on VAR review, with the refereeing body Pro Ref later acknowledging an error of judgment. City moved level on 12 points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, while United sat 13th with one win from four games.
