Haaland strike gives Man City 1-0 win over Man United after Foden sent off
- On Sunday, September 13, 2026, Erling Haaland scored in the 60th minute to secure a 1-0 Manchester City victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, despite Phil Foden's earlier red card leaving City with 10 men.
- Referee Michael Oliver issued a straight red card to Foden in the 23rd minute for violent conduct after the winger kicked Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, marking the first City dismissal in a derby fixture in 20 years.
- VAR controversially overturned an initial offside flag on Haaland's goal, citing Patrick Dorgu's positioning as keeping the striker onside; Gary Neville questioned why Fernandes escaped punishment for his initial kick on Foden.
- City's victory maintains their perfect start with four wins from four, matching Arsenal at the top, while Michael Carrick's United struggle early in the campaign with only four points from three games.
- Debates regarding officiating consistency intensified after the match, as observers criticized VAR's application and noted Fernandes escaped disciplinary action, fueling broader concerns about fairness in high-stakes Premier League decisions.
