Haaland scores controversial winner as 10-man City beat Man Utd

Phil Foden’s dismissal and Erling Haaland’s decisive, VAR-scrutinized goal shaped a controversial 1-0 Manchester derby as 10-man Manchester City beat Manchester United. City were reduced to 10 after Foden was sent off for an incident involving Bruno Fernandes, leaving City to defend for roughly three-quarters of the game. Haaland scored for the ninth time in Premier League meetings against United, turning in Josko Gvardiol’s cross. The goal initially looked offside, but referee Michael Oliver overturned the decision after a lengthy VAR check. United remain winless in form, with boos at full time and four points from four league games, sitting 13th.
