Refs’ boss Howard Webb says that those involved in the Manchester Derby blunder were ‘really disappointed’ with the ‘highly unfortunate’ error – and has revealed that a furious United have been provided with the full transcript behind the botched VAR call which cost them the game.Despite being flagged for offside on the field, City forward Erling Haaland’s 60th minute strike was called in for review, with ref Michael Oliver subsequently ordered to overturn the original decision and incorrectly allow what would turn out to be the only goal of the game.Replays showed that while Haaland was onside, City team-mate Enzo Fernandez – who was clearly interfering with play – was not.Webb, who previously apologised to United just hours after the final whistle, admitted that Oliver should have been told to review the decision on the screen but, bizarrely, was not thanks to an outbreak of ‘tunnel vision’ in the review booth.The decision left United boss Michael Carrick seething, and added to calls for the Premier League to scrap the controversial system.Speaking for the first time on Match Officials Mic’d Up, Webb – who stood down VAR Matt Donohue and assistant Blake Antrobus until after the international break – was quick to address the matter. Enzo Fernandez (right) was incorrectly adjudged to not have been offside for Manchester City’s winning goal scored by Erling Haaland during their 1-0 win at rivals Manchester United Pro Ref’s boss Howard Webb has said he is ‘really disappointed’ with how the error came about’We felt it was important that we acknowledged an error in this situation,’ he said. ‘We know that Erling Haaland, who was penalised on field for offside, wasn’t in an offside position. But we also know that Enzo Fernandez, who was in an offside position, almost certainly interfered with the Manchester United defence and probably the goalkeeper as well.’Daily Mail Sport previously revealed that Webb, head of Pro Ref, was ‘mortified’ at what transpired. And he added that he was not the only one.’I was really disappointed with this outcome,’ he told the show, which is broadcast on Sky Sports and TNT Sports. ‘We all are. None more so than the officials themselves. They take a lot of personal pride in what they do and they’re obviously hurting now, having fallen short in this situation. They’ll not be officiating again until after the international break.’Webb added that Pro Ref had held its hands up and shared audio of the blunder with United.’We’ve reached out to Manchester United and acknowledged the error, as we do when these things happen,’ he said. ‘They don’t happen that often, but we want to ensure that we are transparent and open, and we’ve played the audio and the footage to the football club to let them know what happened, and we’re going to review this situation to understand what elements of process fell down in this situation which meant we didn’t get to the right outcome.’When explaining what had happened, Webb seemed to suggest that Donohue and Antrobus had focused only on Haaland, rather than Fernandez, whom he acknowledged was interfering with play despite not touching the ball. Haaland’s (right) goal was given after a VAR review, with it having originally been ruled offside However, Fernandez was in an offside position and attempted to go for the ball, meaning it should have been disallowed, with Pro Ref later apologising to Man United for the error’The on-field decision is not against Fernandez, it’s against Haaland,’ he said. ‘You’ll hear that clearly on the comms. And when the VAR starts their check, they see through the use of the semi-automated offside technology, that Haaland, when he’s played, is actually onside by three centimetres, played on by (United defender Patrick) Dorgu on the far side, and the VAR gets super focused on Haaland. He establishes he’s onside, he thinks that’s a good goal, Haaland’s not offside, as was thought initially.’But of course, when he then runs it back through the full APP, he doesn’t truly evaluate the full impact of Fernandez’s position. He has a look to see if he touches the ball, because then that relates to potentially knocking it to Haaland, who goes on to score. He doesn’t touch the ball, but he doesn’t truly evaluate other elements of offside. In that moment, he gets tunnel vision. He gets focused on Haaland, and it’s down to the rest of his team to pull him out of that tunnel, and unfortunately, that didn’t happen on this occasion.’Webb, who himself refereed a World Cup Final, admitted a clear error. ‘Haaland is onside,’ he said, ‘and we use the technology, but that’s only part of the story and the VAR gets super focused on that particular element and, in that moment, misses the evaluation of Fernandez’s position, and this goal should’ve been disallowed. ‘Highly unfortunately, it wasn’t, and we’ll review it, reflect upon it, and try to take the learning forward to prevent this unusual type of error from happening again.’ Matt Donohue (left) was on VAR for the game alongside his assistant Blake Antrobus (right)In the first half, City’s Phil Foden was sent off for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes. The United skipper escaped punishment despite appearing to start the confrontation by kicking his opponent on the backside while he was on the floor.Webb said he agreed with the red for Foden because he ‘kicks out with force into the upper body’. He described Fernandes’ kick as ‘more petulant than violent’.’To be violent conduct, it has to have excessive force or brutality, and when you look at that, particularly in full speed, it doesn’t have those elements,’ Webb added. ‘So therefore, this would be a yellow card offence. And the VAR can’t step in to recommend the referee looks at the screen to give a yellow card.’
