Manchester City wins controversially against Manchester United (1-0). Referees admit error in Erling Haaland's goal. Expert Danny Murphy criticises Phil Foden's red card after clash with Bruno Fernandes.

The fallout from Manchester City's controversial 1-0 victory over Manchester United is far from over.

The outcome of the Manchester derby hinged on two highly contentious moments.

In the 23rd minute, referee Michael Oliver brandished a straight red card to Phil Foden for an altercation with United skipper Bruno Fernandes.

Equally sensational was Erling Haaland's winning goal, which has now been officially deemed offside by the refereeing body.

Foden's dismissal raised eyebrows, as the replays indicate that Fernandes instigated the incident. Former Liverpool player Danny Murphy has openly criticised the referee's decision.

No one would bat an eyelid if they both received a yellow card and a stern warning for their mindless irritation and ridiculous foot jabs. Fernandes nudges Foden with his foot while he's on the ground, but Foden raises his leg too high, which leads the referee to consider the red card. Yet players know the risks involved in such actions during these high-stakes matches.
