VAR Misses Offside Interference! Former Referee Exposes Fatal Blind Spot in Haaland Goal Decision
Former Premier League referee Graham Scott breaks down the VAR review of Erling Haaland's goal in the Manchester derby. In the 60th minute, referee Oliver initially ruled Haaland offside. VAR referee Donohue then reviewed Enzo's touch and Haaland's position, utilizing semi-automated offside technology to confirm Haaland was not offside, before informing Oliver that the goal stood after 80 seconds. Scott pointed out that Donohue only checked whether Enzo touched the ball but overlooked whether Enzo was in an offside position interfering with Lisandro Martinez's defensive play, revealing a blind spot in the offside foul determination.
