One of the questions which galore supporters person asked is however the VAR squad could perchance scope the decision that Fernandez did not perpetrate an offside offence.
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez was successful adjacent proximity, portion goalkeeper Sanne Lammens was positioned for Fernandez to play the ball.
The Mic'd Up audio provided a wide answer. At nary signifier did Donohue oregon Antrobus see it because, arsenic Webb describes, they got "tunnel vision" implicit Haaland.
The semi-automated offside exertion told the VAR that Haaland was 3 centimetres onside from Josko Gvardiol's cross.
But the video officials past lone checked for a interaction by Fernandez which would person created a caller offside signifier against the Norway international.
"The VAR gets super-focused connected Haaland," said Webb, who had already been successful interaction with Manchester United to stock the VAR audio and video.
"He establishes he's onside, helium thinks that's a bully goal.
"He doesn't genuinely measure the afloat interaction of Fernandez's position. He has a look to spot if helium touches the ball, due to the fact that past that relates to perchance knocking it to Haaland, who goes connected to score.
"In that moment, helium gets passageway vision. It's down to the remainder of his squad to propulsion him retired of that tunnel, and unfortunately, that didn't hap connected this occasion.
"What looks similar a truly wide subjective offside, due to the fact that Fernandez doesn't interaction the shot but inactive intelligibly impacts [the play but] doesn't get identified, and it's truly disappointing.
"This extremity should've been disallowed. And highly unfortunately, it wasn't, and we'll reappraisal it, bespeak upon it, and effort to instrumentality the learning guardant to forestall this antithetic benignant of mistake from happening again."
