Haaland strike gives Man City 1-0 win over Man United after Foden sent off
Haaland’s second-half winner stood after a VAR check, while City played most of the match with 10 men after Foden’s red card.
- On Sunday, September 13, 2026, Erling Haaland scored a controversial 60th-minute goal to secure Manchester City a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, keeping City level with Arsenal at the top.
- Manchester City played the majority of the match with ten men after Phil Foden received a straight red card in the 23rd minute for violent conduct following an altercation with Bruno Fernandes near the touchline.
- After a lengthy VAR review, officials awarded Haaland's goal, with the Premier League Match Centre stating Enzo Fernandez did not interfere with play despite being in an offside position.
- Manchester United manager Michael Carrick labeled the decision "worrying," while defender Lisandro Martinez branded the goal an "injustice," arguing teammate Fernandez's offside position prevented him from marking Haaland.
- Four wins from four matches position Enzo Maresca's Manchester City level with Arsenal, while United have accumulated only four points under Michael Carrick, leaving them eighth points adrift in the early title race.
