VAR Officials Stood Down After Wrongly Allowing Haaland's Derby Winner

Matt Donohue and his assistant Blake Antrobus have been stood down from Premier League VAR duties following their handling of Erling Haaland's winning goal in the Manchester derby. Pro Ref ruled that allowing the goal was an error of judgment. Neither official has received an appointment for the coming weekend's fixtures. Pro Ref's decision to stand down both officials is a rare public acknowledgment of VAR error at the highest level, with direct consequences for the outcome of a Manchester derby.
